Warped: Cheers for the info regarding the BRCA - The wing was actually the cause of the wheelies (surprised me too) as it started to occur once the car was approaching full speed and not on the initial acceleration. Removing the vertical back edge on the wing solved that particular issue.

Steering has virtually no effect when accelerating hard so you need to be prepared to go in a straight line when doing so, but I think this is pretty much what it's like running a 2wd with a brushless motor... Turns in fine once the speed has dropped enough...

The weight distribution is pretty much as I said, give or take a percentage or two. The lipo cells I've got however are smaller (and the lighter) than than the usual packs I've seen which means I can slide them further forward to help the weight distribution.

Whats the feeling on front wings? I saw quite a number of cars using them on Sunday at Bury (and it's along the theme of Sparrow.2's formula 1 anvil alternative too...)
