Default 1st TC race in 2 years!!!

It's been a while, but our first asphalt race is scheduled for this Saturday (weather permitting).

I'm attaching a photo of my 95% completed chassis. I still need to paint my body and build my batteries.

I need help though, my two biggest concerns are proper gearing, and combatting over steer.

What gearing should I use for a large, medium grip asphalt surface with only few short turns and a long (100') straight away ending with a sweeper? (It will be a fast track, not very technical) This would be for a stock motor and a 19T motor. Also, what is the gear ratio for the SD?

Last, if I experience oversteer where should I begin trying to fix it on the SD? My last TC experience was with my MR-4TC which ran great. However, when I first started racing it eliminatig the oversteer was very frustrating.
