Hey guys! I'm new to racing and am currently running indoor clay on a medium to higher bite surface with my Losi 22 5.0 and soon to be with a 22x-4 as well. There is a local carpet track that I'd like to play/practice at and possibly race every now and then. The 2wd already has metal gear diff. What other quick changes can I make aside from tires, ride height, heavier shock oil, springs and heavier diff oil to help me get around the track without the car being awful. I'm not trying to buy the brass hinge pin blocks and sink money in parts that I'll rarely use, mainly trying to tune with what I have but if I have to get some heavier oils that's ok. Mainly looking to tune with the option/tune parts that come with the kits. Thanks in advance for your insight and help!
 
You shouldn't need any brass blocks. I ended up removing some rear toe and pushing the battery forward. Also lowered the ride height and added sway bars. And I'm running a 2 gear rear diff in my 2wd, hope that helps.
