Okay, I'll hit up some of the basics :)
1) Chassis is huge. Fit the chassis around the components, if you know what I mean. You'll save a whole lot of weight.
2) Batteries - said this one already, won't re-cover it.
3) If it's swerving, this is probably due to the mass balance when you attach the wheels (yeah, RA2 doesn't work it out on the fly, it only takes into consideration the balance when your wheels are attached) so putting them in first to avoid swerving is always a plus.
4) Unpowered wheels are a complete waste and add nothing to your bot. Sorry :P
5) Maybe consider trying out NPC fasts as drive? In DSL there are distinct drive motors and weapon motors - regular E-Teks are weapon motors and not good for drive. NPC's are the most used drive motor, and for good reason. Check them out, you may find 4 NPC Fasts does more than enough for you.
A combination of those improvements should in theory give you a nice controllable bot with some weight to spare. And you know where weight to spare goes? More weapons! :P 8 Hypno teeth is pretty low for a HW so definitely add a bunch more weaponry if you can :)
Also I edited your thread title just to make it consistent. Sorry
