I can tell you how I have my weights set up, and it works very good for me in my FT SC10, fly's nice and flat when in the air. However, everyone is a bit different, so I know not everyone may agree with my setup.
I have my battery pack towards the middle with 2/3 of the foam in the rear and 1/3 of the foam in the front of the pack (stock setup I believe). Then, I use 1/4 oz. iron weights. I have (1) 1/4 oz. weight towards the front end, like underneath the servo saver assembly general area. Then, I have (1) 1/4 oz. weight located on the far right side of the chassis, at about the midpoint of the car. This one is here to combat the heavier weight of the ESC on the other side of the chassis, and helps center the truck when in the air. Lastly, I have (3) 1/4 weights on the centerline (battery area) of the chassis, right underneath the rear 2/3 foam piece I was talking about earlier. I have seen lots of other SC10's at my track, and this seems to be a fairly common weight setup. Hope this helps a little
