Hi Bob,
i haven't posted as i'm still working on an outdoor set-up, which will be the starting point for the indoor one in a few weeks!
Personally i would only change one thing at a time and note it's reaction for future reference.
i went from stock 10deg blocks to 5deg and it instantly calmed initial turn in and gave more mid corner steering, so i will be dropping down in stages as required... 3deg, then 0 deg, then repeating with 25deg kickup shim/pivot from 22.
Straight away i would dremel 2 rows of pins off inner and outer of front tyres going on carpet experience with XXX-SCT and a few mates trucks last indoor season.
On SCT's the tyres are same size all round unlike buggys that have narrower fronts, so trimming spikes/pins off makes the difference in this way and gets rid of excessive grip under roll load.
I wouldn't use blue minipins up front on carpet as they are stiffer and more aggressive, but as Gnarly say's, we use blue compound minispikes on front with yellow on rear on astroturf to balance steering with front end grip.. but again we dremel 1-2 rows off inner and outer off any spiked tyres.
The 22SCT does seem to sit quite high, i dropped mine down to 22mm in stages at it's first outing and it did make it react quicker (not what you need right now but a lower car obviously rolls less!)
Are you running saddles/long stick or shorty lipos?
another setting is the 2mm castor shim, moving it to front helps lose steering as it changes ackerman slightly.
Black fr and pink rear springs are the way forward i feel too... i'm running 37.5wt in front and 32.5wt in rear with 55 in rear and now 56 in fronts and it feels good but probably still a little soft for indoor high grip.
