Well, I'm back from my meeting.
Yes, as I mentioned, I think Mantis' setup may be a good place to start.
I have an Exotek that I am going to install, I just haven't had the time yet (nor have I driven the truck in over a week).
I have over 1000 in the truck (as my wife clearly showed me with an Excel spreadsheet that she could only put together after I showed her how to use Excel in the past to quickly tabulate things). The money is more for my fun and enjoyment of the hobby, as I am not a competitive racer yet.
Edit: I see quite a few people have made suggestions as to where to go for setups. I appreciate this, but I should clarify that I was just trying to make a point. I have good resources to fall back on, including Marcus' suggestions, good advice at my track, and of course, what I read from the community here.
WC, it would be great if you could forward a good setup for the conditions I described. Like I said, I was trying to make a point, but at the same time I know you have reliable resources yourself and I would certainly be happy if I continued to benefit from them.
