I haven't gotten mine to the track yet...but the only changes I've heard of from the base setup at my track is 23 for ride height and a weird combo on the chassis mixing up the screws...not sure on the slipper
I run an 8.5 on a small indoor track. Running the stock spur w/22 pinion. Went to 6 hole 1.0 piston w/losi 30oil in rear. 6 hole 1.1 piston w/34.5 oil front
Slipper is just little loose by feel. 26mm rear 25mm front rideheight. I took all the screws out o the bottom for flex. I removed both swaybars. Went to 4k diff oil in front, 1k diff oil in rear. Car was best its been yet!! First time I could push the car hard I've not had problems w/gears stripping, or shocks leaking. But I did break rear shock tower @ camberlink ball. I've since replaced them w/ TeamSR CF 4mm and it seems bullit proof now! Glad Xray addressed the issues.
