Can't say about VTA, but I ran 17.5 TC with mine.
I built mine by the book with included oils. Went with 1 degree camber all around and front toe out. Handled great from the get go on black carpet. I'd say VTA just get your ride height as close to 5mm as possible and somewhere around 3.5-4.0 to start on gearing depending on what motor and timing you're running. If the black carpet is grooved in I'd probably go ahead and glue the front sidewalls. I'm running an Ultimate 2012 chassis in VTA right now and had to actually glue all the way over the first outside tread in the front to keep from traction rolling. The 20m may not need that much as it seemed to be a bit more loose in the rear than my other 3 racing cars. Good luck with it and let us know how it does.
moparSRT may have a more VTA specific setup for you.
