I am not sure you want to be asking me as I run a set up that is completely different from everyone else. However, the following is where I would start.

If you are going to run the Yokomo in stock, your issue is going to be maintaining corner speed. The thin chassis will generate too much grip in the corners hurting you lap times. I would run the thick T bar, red center spring with 50wt oil, gray rears, and purple fronts. Use 22 front springs with 4 degrees of static caster. I would use the 5 degree caster blocks. Start the tires in the rear at 46 mm and in the front at 44-mm. Use heavy dampener stuff on the dampener discs or in the tubes which ever you are using. As for gearing, it depends on which motor you are going to run but shoot for as high a roll out number you can get. Right now, with a monster, I am running 31 pinions with a 96 spur and my tires are between 46 and 44 mm. Are you really going to come out and race with us?!? We have been having some great races!

OD and JRRC! You two want to comment.
