Hi matey, just my viewpoint to help alongside Chris's pointers...

Rear tyre choice seems a bit odd for carpet?

minispikes don't work great on carpet, slide around too much and with the softer, taller and rounder profile compared to minipins you will be getting a lot of roll... especially with soft inserts.

Does everyone at venue run this tyre choice/insert combo, particularly the top drivers in class?

Minipins have a lot more traction but at same time are a lower harder profile and wider with a flatter carcass, so much better suited for indoor harder flat surfaces, especially carpet... worth looking at for a starter.

For me the oils you are running are too soft, especially rear, i would be running black front spring with 37.5 losi and rear pink spring with 32.5 losi with a similar piston set up... this will help control the roll/weight transfer.

Definitely agree with rear shock position needing change to middle on tower and inner on wishbone.. get the feeling the grip roll you are getting is outside tyres rolling over plus soft shock collapsing on outside combined with inner rear wheel lifting due to lack of droop with shock position and the weight transfer from this flipping the car.

I always run more camber on rear than front with 22 so try -1 on front and -2 on rear..it allows the rear to roll more than front on load which i found helps the car pivot quicker in tighter sections... plus the extra camber on rear gives more stability in straight line.

Camber links Delves is spot on... 3mm spacers on rear is too much, i always run 2mm under outer studs and 1mm under inner, but this does make the car more agressive on turn in and push a little on exit (driver preference!)

I run +1.5 hexes.. found they stabilise the car more on acceleration and loses some of the inital steering grab, just feels a bit more planted on high grip tracks... this was before 4mm trailing spindles which do a better job IMO.

Hope this helps.
