TBH i don't think i can help you that much with this one...

I have a rear motor car for running outdoors when it is proper wet, when first testing it on dry and wet astro and grass i transferred the complete geometry and shock set up as my mid car to it, but with a milder 9.5T motor (6.5T for mid car)

It was spot on or me, only played with ride heights and tyres, drives fine!

problem i have is with advice is that on wet Astro and grass, i can overcome the slippy side of it with some spiked tyres and loosening the slipper as required... the set up works fine (apart rom having to remember to take jumps differently!)

I run no weight in the rear mounted car at all and run a full size LRP 5900 stick pack (they are quite bulky compared to other packs)... always run 80g's under LiPos with mid car and an extra 50g at least TLR rear weight as soon as its damp/wet or very bumpy.

i have not raced on a full polished floor for many many years and only with 4WD's... been on many tracks that have slippy sections but as with most drivers its a case of taking care with throttle on those bits and making up for it on the grippy bits!

Are you using a control tyre with the minipins? Is it worth trying something like full spikes or pink Ballistics all round to allow tyres to generate more grip?

yellow minipins are probably a bit hard carcass wise for using on polished surface

Have you tried minipins on front?

Have you tried slim staggers on the front?

what are other drivers running tyre wise?

200g is a fair amount of weight to be adding, where is it placed?
