Default General/starter setup

Ok, would anyone care to post a "general" setup ie, springs,oil weights,pistons, shock positions etc, just as a general base setup?

Hiya mate, you don't mention which car you are talking about ?
I assume you mean the Dark Impact ?

Ai, chassis model would be good, and whether you got the stock shocks or the upgraded ones on.

If Neo's got a TRF501X as well I'd be impressed.

I think Neo is runnning the 3Racing shocks.

start off with the middle springs all round, stok setting work reasonably well, use the smallest pistons in the front, with 5mm of spacers under the piston, 40wt oil, on the rear, use the 2 hole (middle?) rate piston with 40wt oil and 8mm of internal spacers under the piston.

2' camber all round, 0' toe on the front.

Driveshafts level.

Get cooling into around the motor and ESC.

That should be a good starting point. Watch out for the lower king pins on the front, I lost two already grrrrrr.....
