I have a precut car with 2 holes pre drilled in the back of the car. I put the wheels on the car then weighed out 2 cylinders of tunston weight both equal and close to 5 oz. The 2 weight cylindars are about 1 3/4" in height. I placed these into the holes so the center point of the weight cylinder was 3/4" in front of my rear axel. So the front and back of weight tube is in front of and behind the 3/4 spot.
I hope Im explaning this well. Im concerned I have no weight behing the back axel. I did use some school glue so It might be hard to get the weights out. Also have some cut wood dowel in front of the weights and behind the weights to fill in the holes flush with end and no rattling.

Tell me 2 cylinders placed in the back with the center of cylinder at 3/4" is good?
 
I always place 12 tungsten cubes(2 oz) behind rear axle and rest im front of rear axle...another 12 cubes. Just done a test run today and my 4.75" wheelbase rail runner runs smooth as silk down the track...no wobbles!! Unfortunately I didn't polish my axles and wheels completely and only managed 3.03xx. Gonna re prep axles and wheels properly and I should be sub 3
