Yes, I know I should buy a corner weight balancing scale.. not there yet.
In the interests of peace, what you're doing is as close as you can get w/out investing in motor counterweights. Motor counterweights are good cause it will place the weight forward also.
Getting a car balanced perfectly from side to side is not absolutely necessary. Commendable maybe, but the shifting the weight forward is more desirable.
If you're looking for a balancing set up, LEFTHANDER R/C has a couple of inexpensive rigs that do an adequate job.
