Default Rear Toe-in

Adn if I want 1.0 per side , I want the X up front and the XB out rear right?
I do not think you are correct. The supplied blocks (from the front of the car to the back) were: M5, M4, M3, M5

I measured the locations of the holes for M4 and M5 parts and they were about 43.5mm (IE M4 and M5 are the same). I do think the M3 looked narrower when I was assembling it, but I did not think about measuring the holes before I mounted M3, so I am not certain. However, if M3 were the same distance as M4, then I do not think that Tamiya would have called it M3 at all (or they would have changed all the numbers for these parts). So I think that if the rear toe overall is 2 degrees, then the uprights may be either 0 degrees or 1 degree, and the rest of the toe-in is from the blocks. If I get a chance to disassemble the setup I will confirm this later (unless someone else does first).
