What are the track conditions; bumpy, low grip, fast/slow,...?

I'd say the track typically has medium-low traction, relatively bumpy and is generally a technical track without any real long straights.

I would start with this:

Front:
Green spring, 30wt, #56 piston, 1mm limiter
Losi 7202R (Soft Rib red), narrow on wheel
No lead
VLA long

Rear:
Pink spring, 25wt, #56 piston, no limiters
Losi Big Shot Red
100gr of lead under lipo, 20 under motor and some lead around the T-plate.
Shock position #2 on tower, #1 on wishbone
Medium wheelbase
2° anti-squat
VLA short, 3 hub washers

I never drove the car on a dirt track, but this would be the first set-up I'd try.
