Well then sow PM me and I promise I will not tell Mark
No worries, from yesterday's practise, here's my set-up (the old car, which was the one I preferred, the new one has an OS-12TR Yamada modified engine and was too slow on the straight compared to Mark's and NiMo's screaming JP-FX):-

FRONT
37 shore (Speedmind)
61 mm dia
1 deg toe out
3 mm in front of upper arm camber
1 mm Short Wheel base mod
35 oil - Red 710 springs
4 holes
6 mm ride
1 mm droop
mid RC
1-way diff
Roll bar set to flat (0 degrees)

REAR
37 shore (Speedmind)
62 mm dia
2 degrees toe-in
35 oil - Red 710 springs
3 holes
6.5 mm ride
7 mm ride
RC as per manual
DRS as per manual
Diff set loose
Stock roll-bar set at 0 mm

OTHERS
NSR-5S engine
Kyosho Outlaw Team pipe
RB 13mm manifold
25% Tornado fuel
Novarossi #6 plug
17-22 pinion
61-57 spurs
Speering link on TOP of stock servo saver.

No weights left of tank
Ti screws all round
Ti shafts mid and main layshafts

Hope this helps but go to myTSN and look at Mark Green's set-up for AMCC. This was the winning set-up for TQ/FTD during the last foam Nationals at this track. He lapped everyone by 3 laps at the end of the 30 min finals. The UK foams Nationals are run on Lolas this year.

As a side note, I'll post some videos on 3hobby.com of us messing around if they (Mark and the rest of the guys) don't mind. Weather does NOT look good for tomorrow's race though.
