Default Setup advice

Hi all, built my car now ready for use when I return to the UK this summer if I survive the apocalypse.
Has anybody got any tips for 17.5 blinky indoors on carpet. The track is fairly small and tight.

I have the car built exactly as kit with the exception of some correct shimming.

I will be running 64p gearing. I have a 100 tooth in at the moment but think this is going to necessitate the use of a massive pinion to get a reasonable FDR.

Any thoughts, advice or info appreciated.

If you really want to get your car dialed in. Get xray springs and sway bars and ditch the Tamiya stuff. Gear your car for the infield. Don’t worry about the short straight. Learn proper tire prep. You may end up wanting to use tire warmers to get the tires ready for the first lap. All Tamiya short springs are too soft for carpet racing

Default I noticed that these are impossible to get today. Is anyone interested?

Let me know. I have one that has been build but never ran it.
