I'm having a very hard time trying to get the corner weight equal alround and i've even put 1 of the cells on the same side as the motor to help

My next idea was to get the chassis under the servo cut out so i could put lead weight under the servo to help out as it's deffinately at the front on the servo side where the chassis light !!

Getting the two sides of the car even is easy but trying to get all four corners the same is proving near impossible

To be honest it ain't even close
I think that youmight be trying to hard to get it perfect just worry about left and right balance and then tune the car for over and under steer from there but you are on the right direction with the weight on the motor side and the servo area too
take a look at some of thhe pis I will attach and you will see a few good ideas
