Im not sure if theres a tool for it, but determining where to put weight is based on feel and how you want to setup the the car. I wanted more off power steering so i put weight in the front. from side to side you use weight to make the car lean more in the turns or to reduce the chances of traction roll. I usually use coins as weight if i dont have any lead weight.

I know what you are asking. Look about half way down here. It explains how to calculate weight bias using scales. It shows how to do it for a revo and front to rear but the same principles apply to a TC and side to side.

I would say add as little weight as possible and focus more on preload on your shocks, that really helped me but I guess it doesnt work for everyone.
