you might also need som other springs like a set of 2.8 and 2.4. other then that the car is very fast out of the box.

Had my first race meet with a t3 2011 this week. I played with the settings a bit during the course of the day but progress was limited due to setting up the esc at the same time and having to switch tyres halfway through the day due to temps. Well I got the esc fairly much set up but I'm having major problems with traction. Basically I'm under steering on entry and oversteering on exit. I'm fairly aggressive in my driving style. Running 2 degrees front and rear camber, rest is stock. The track is 20x45m and Would be considered to have average traction for an asphalt track.
Any tips on set up or a starting point? I've never really understood improving a car's setup and the setup guide that came with the car has way too many options which I don't understand fully.

If your very aggressive in getting on the power out of a corner I would suggest going with a harder rear spring for a start, that might help with both corner entry and exit in your case.

I've found that these parts are what we use around at our tracks Jaybee:
-2.8 springs x1
-2.4 springs x1
-Either Flying Fox spool cups or just get a few extra sets of the plastic ones
-ECS driveshafts if you want. I don't feel they are really needed. They just make the car smoother in tight corners.
-50mm aluminum or steel rear driveshaft bones (for when you want to run a gear diff)
-Gear diff of some sort (NT1 conversion or Spec R is good). It's a nice option to have around but not 100% needed.
-some 1.15 steel shims (good for spacing out the front end)
-some spare knuckles if you please, but they are pretty solid.
-1 deg rear hubs are good to have on hand
-a selection of shims and spacers for camber links
Thats pretty much all I have used since I have been on the team. It's a pretty awesome car out of the box.

Shock question
I'm just finishing my build (1st Xray) and the front lower shock mount is a set screw? 
There kidding, right? Am I missing something?

Not quite sure I understand. In an earlier step they have me screw the setscrew into the front arm, now I 'unscrew" it into the ball end to pull it on?

No you've done it right, now take the ball end and screw it onto the set screw you have which is sticking out of the wishbone, do it for all four corners. Reason xray have this instead of a complete ballstud is to prevent wear, as you simply can put your hex driver into the ball stud hex and unscrew the shock off, instead of poping them off each time.
