That's an interesting concept running so little weight, the front end when i watched you go round seemed planted. Currently i'm running 65g of weight in the front with 50 grams on top or around the servo in my monkey & have 15g sat in the tray where the electrics are sat. On the rat chassis i always ran with 70 grams of weight all around the servo, in the kickplate etc & added a scoop cut from lexan or plasticard going from the front bumper plate up to the top of where the shocks fit to the tower.. this helped a lot as with the rear motor configuration i found the car needed a bit extra to push it down on high speed straights, going into sweeping bends or to ensure it was more agile in the air, with the monkey configuration the chassis weight is more balanced so it's all about keeping the front end stable i find rather than pushing the front end down into the ground.
