XB2 is almost done before its maiden run on raceday saturday, tight indoor track, carpet/minipins. I won't have any practice before the race itself, actually there's only a 3mn controlled practice for reseeding on a layout built during the night, then it's straight into qualifiers.

I've built the car as per instructions, except the antisquat (0deg) and I will use 1.6/1.7 pistons (still waiting for my Avid's)

This will be my first foray into low-CG, front-mid-motored 2wd. Our carpet isn't the grippiest, and there are some polished wood sections sometimes placed in the most challenging areas (that's the whole point ). My worry is that I don't have enough rear grip right away and feel uncomfy with the car.

What are then the top3 setup ajustments I can do to make the car easier to drive if that's the case and the car is too tail-happy for my driving skills? I was thinking more rear toe (on power), less rear droop (off power), then lower both roll-centers if needed (both)

Comments, suggestions?

Thanks!
