yakuza ... one other thing to look at is the angle of the shocks in conjuction to the piston and oil. if they are standing up they should feel stiff and if laid down should feel soft. one important thing to remember is what may work at one track may not work at another ... just experiment, trust me the more you try new or different things the more you'll know and changing these things will become quicker. try everything!

yes, you're right, it might not work on MICKEY MOUSE track,but i'm really bad at setting up the car, i might need your help next time... currently, the front shocks position are on the second hole from the bottom, and rear are on the middle hole. Seems fine on high speed track...
