Does anyone know how to improve the handling of a FG MT???

the weight distribution, camber, toe, ride hight, shocks, springs, anything to kill the understeer....

Your radio should allow you to steer until the stops just hit he arms and most of us have changed out the shock oil to way less WT oil.:)
 
There's no getting away from on-power understeer on a powerful rear wheel drive car, with all it's weight toward the rear. I have changed out the shock oils for 600 front and 700 rear, and when I want to steer, I let off the gas, and it turns great.

It's the first thing I tell anyone when I let them have the controller. And I say it several times til it sinks in... "There is no steering on the gas!!!" "THERE IS NO STEERING WHEN YOU ARE ON THE GAS!" " BRAKESSS!!!!! AGGGGGHHHH", "OK, give it back now". lol.
 
Try relocating the battery. If you can strap it closer to the front axel it should give better Wight distribution.
Just an idea.
 
I used 20wt fork oil all round and love it, the suspension works like you would expect and the car is totally different.
It does understeer at WOT but it is so predictable to drive and doesn't spin out / oversteer like a pig anymore.

I also removed the rear swaybar.
