I just built mine to kit, 35wt front, 30wt rear and I also made the pistons into tapered pistons, felt really good from the get go.

Ran mine at Taplow (indoor on carpet) 6.5 with 23t pinion.It seemed a bit too fast for me so a 7.5 next time.It went around far better in Alec Springers hands.
I likey

30 wt oil on kit front settings seems overdamped.

I'm going with 25 or 27.5 next time around

It will go an awful lot better without the 4wd front tyres
Get some new yellow minispikes for the rear and some slim yellow minispikes for the front and it will be excellent round there (don't bother with minipins it will make it too fierce)
