look at these:

http://www.petitrc.com/setup/yokomo/...gzhou20150405/

http://www.petitrc.com/setup/yokomo/...els2015032729/

Also expect a new setup sheet after the EOS tomorrow.

I'm running 600 front shock oil, 400 rear (on astro not carpet).
I did run 20k front and 10k rear, but now moved to 30k front and 20k rear, which is great on astro.

What's the grip level of the carpet?

Similar setup on mine, although you may need to limit the front shocks by quite a bit too..

Mine felt awful initially until I added about 7mm of limiters in the front..

My car wasn't nice at all at Kiddy, but just realised I only had 3mm limiters in which probably explains my random grip roll. Back to my normal 5mm for Telford.

When you say limiters are you using them to reduce droop?

What do you use, is there a Yokomo part or will any shims do?

Cheers

Em not really. ended up with 30k and 10k yesterday, but time was limited for my testing as i was running race control. the astro isn't super grippy, sand is still working it's way out the track.
