I would start with a green left front, blue right front, and two greens on rear. I think the compound colors have been changed but green is soft and blue is harder. If the track allows it, I would off set the left rear by using as few spacers as possible on that side. Mount servo under chassis or in very front of car. Batt also under chassis. Leave all the cross braces so they can be turned by hand slightly; this will allow the chassis to flex some. Put an extra washer on the right hand front king pin to reduce the springs compression; this will keep the right front from dipping as much in turns. Dope both of the rear tires completely and just the outside edge of the left front and see how it turns. If you need more turning, dope more of the left front. Good luck

thank you! I already have the servo and battery under the car and loosing the chassis makes sense but what do you mean offset the back?

If your track allows it; don't use all the spacers or large spacer on the left side of the rear axle. This will bring the left rear wheel and tire closer to the center of the car and it will turn quicker. Front the rear the car will look strange as the left will not be as far out as the right (offset).
