Build it per the manual setup and start there. The stock setup is real stable. I did drop to 40wt oil but that is about all I have changed so far. If you keep the oneway in you need to invest in a backing plate like the one that PRP or HPI sells otherwise the gear will flex and you will chip a tooth off. I am sure you will enjoy the car.
The only thing I did for the first run with my car was move the rear shock bottoms to the middle hole. It was very stable, and is a good starting point.

The only aftermarket parts I have on my car are the PRP gear plate, and TruSpin. The one-way gear plate is a must have if you run the one-way, imho. Otherwise you run the risk of loosing teeth off either gear due to the flex in the gear itself. http://www.teamprpracing.com Ben has them in stock now.

I still have not damaged a single gear since running PRP's plate.
