So I want to do it in the design of the nitro car. Also from watching video's it seems that most of the crashes that I have seen are caused by under steer and over compensation for under steer. So in a 1/10th car it may benefit from having front bias weight in racing. This is just theory as of right now. But I found this E-Book talks about weight distribution. R/C Handbook by Scott Guyatt So I am trying to solve the under steer issues primarily.

Also, I am working on an R/C car Project because I enjoy R/C cars and I needed to solve a problem for my senior design project. So I chose under steer as the problem to solve. Also it solves the issue of front engine cars not being represented in the R/C world.
