Default indoor setup

hi looking for a good start point indoor setup for polished wood floor.

ran it last night for the first time and it pushed going in to the corner and the inside front bit and made the backend spin out.
and coming on to the straight i couldn't put the power down.

tried raising the roll center on the back and softer rear springs and moved the shocks out on the wishbone but it still didn't have any corner speed.

anybody help thanks.

Do you always run 10 deg front caster adam? I've been running 7 since i started running the car. will 10 smooth the car down or make it more aggressive?

Pretty much always run 10 degrees. I thought you'd changed it at Batley. Although there was a fair old amount of changes you needed to do, so I guess missing one is ok!!!!

Yeah, should smooth it out a little especially with the one-way centre shaft. TBH I really should try my car with 7 degrees now that I have the back end planted...

i'll leave it at 7 as I could now do with abit more front end after the changes were made.. the rear end is now planted as you say.
I keep reverting back to my original set up when i run on a carpet track, it seems dialed when the grip comes up! but the one i worked with you seemed to be better on the slippery and bumps.
