Default Petitrc Race setup for clay.

So, this weekend was my debut with this beast, at the Petitrc race held at a cementhard clay track with varying grip, horribly executed jumps, and a reputation for killing any car you throw at it.

With the Schumacher in kit form, even though responsive and well jumping, this wasn't it's favourite playground. But I've only broken one suspension arm through a weekend of racing, and I now got a decent setup for clay

I switched to the white piston up front, Losi 40 oil, TLR green springs(3.5) and 7.5 yokes.
In the rear I had Losi 35 oil(felt heavier than kit), TLR yellow springs and a 1.3 mm Yokomo B-max roll bar, with a custom mount.

I was testing a few oils and springs, but this is what turned out best so far. I didn't have time for testing any links, toe adjustments and such, and the car is still a bit on edge, but this setup made me have the A-main pace, even if I couldn't deliver.

So far so good, I'm looking forward to more testing
