Hi Ed
I've tried to get my B4 going well without loads of extra weight but with the power we have now it just doesn't work in 2wd, as soon as you get on the throttle the front goes light, ploughs straight on and wants to to rolling wheelies all the time too
I've settled on a 1mm thick lead strip under the pack (about 100g I think) so the car is still lighter than it was with nimh but just heavy enough to calm it down, also running the Trishbits brass squat block which adds just under 30g to the rear.
You're in the ballpark on the setup, but I wouldn't go for long camberlinks on carpet - too sluggish and too much bodyroll. Start off with them inner-inner on the front, and inner-middle at the back, 1 washer under the inner ballstud all round. Have some inline steering blocks/axles handy too, they work really well for me on carpet
Minipins all round on carpet, staggers are for wimps!
See you at Petit
