Default Whats the best way to balance your TC?

I was wondering what the best way to balance a TC was, and were should the weight be placed on the car. Does is make a lot of difference to the handling of the car?

Currently my car is balanced at 1503g with a 1500 limit. But i want to know should there be more weight on the centre of the car or more on each side. Currently all my weight is on either side of the car, with no weight on the centre line of the car. I have 40g behind my motor, 30g under my receiver, 10g on top of my servo and 10g in front of the servo. On the battery side im using a 50g battery tray, which brings the battery further out. I also have 20g behing the battery and 5g in front of the lipo.

Is my method correct or should i use less weight on the sides and put more weight in the centre of the car. What will ths affect regarding to the cars performance? With the weight placed how i have it now the car should transition and change direction quicker but are ther any negatives to this.

Thanks Antoni
