Need some assistance with the build and had a couple of questions for the F1 gurus.
I'm currently trying to decide between the Savox 1251 and 1252 servo.
Which one will work better? 1252 a bit faster and 1251 a bit torquier
Also for the Rear damper, which combination will work better for asphalt (piston, oil, spring).
For Springs, which to use for front and rear.
Will mainly be practicing at WCRC, Marvin's parking lot track at Northridge, and maybe the Tamiya track once in a while.
Can anyone share their Asphalt setup for these tracks?

Thanks for your help
I would say go with the faster servo instead of the stronger since this is a lightweight 2wd car. As for the setup I just had my first weekend with mine at Freedom Park Camarillo and I went with silver springs front and rear, soft roll damper grease, 3 hole piston with stock oil and Ride R1 tires. The car had lots of understeer but it was stable and easy to drive. Next time out I will work on dialing back the understeer with stiffer rear springs, medium roll grease and thicker shock oil.
