Think of you car running full speed down the straight and you suddenly want to turn left. Which direction is intertia carrying your car? straight forward right? so the more weight you add, the more energy is required to change the direction of that end of the car. Another example would be to add weight to the rear of the car, you gain alot of forward bite AND high speed steering because when you initiate a turn at high speed the rear of the car is going to want to continue to go straight. Understand? Also by adding weight to the front of the car you loose forward bite quickly, because you slowing/limiting weight transfer to the rear wheels, the buggy will only generate a certain amount of force in attempting to lift the front end and loose grip.
True a short wheelbase (hubs forward) will turn in a tighter radius, so that is a good setting for tracks with alot of 180 deg turns.

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, that makes sense, i guess we misunderstood each other as its only the low speed steering where i felt that the car suffered. The high speed steering wasnt as bad as the low speed. Yes, the track had a lot of low speed, lowish grip tight turns. Anyway, got some stuff to try now so cheers for the input.
