The box setup is pretty easy to drive in any class that's 17.5 or slower. Of course, that doesn't mean it is the fastest. If you are a newer driver it'll work great and helps keep you consistent.
I wound up with 30wt oil in the rear gear diff. Easy to drive, and it seems to keep the rear a bit tame on low/medium bite.
Once you get the hang of the car or want to run faster classes, I'd suggest shortening the camber links (or at least the rear), and depending on grip level experimenting with stiffer springs.
Also, I would suggest buying Reflex pistons and bladders. They make a big difference with the dampening.
