Yes, a front driven car is easy to drive but you can´t steer with throttle.
Even my 911 which has 4WD has no lock in front and push/pull 40/60 lock rear...
So if i am coming out of a corner i hit the pedal and voila the back comes!
And if it´s raining the back comes to fast... :-)
My current emaxx has heavier oil in the front diff tha in the rear diff and i am not able to steer with the throttle. i acts as you describe it - the front pulls the car but the degree of understeering is horrible. Nothing for me.
No way doing a drift with my current emaxx!
But to make it short - please correct me if i am wrong:
Is it correct to a certain kind of degree to transfer the real world experiences to the rc car´s world?
Which means for me: i hate front driven cars, i like rear wheel drive. so the right setup for my emaxx would be heavier weight in the rear than in the front diff.
Correct?

Well, not true actually, you are comparing road driving to dirt. If you are running your maxx only on pavement, then your current idea should work. But if you plan on racing on a dirt track, you want the heavier weight in the front.
Also, the reason your back end comes out in the porsche is because it has a slipper type gearing. Meaning more diff action. If one wheel was on the ground, the one in the air would spin. If you put heavier oil in there, then the one on the ground would be more apt to turn as well. But on pavement, you get tons more traction than dirt. It's not that it becomes more front wheel drive, there is still some slppage, just less is all and it allows for more pulling than slipping.
