I used the following setup to start with on astro and I think it is a really conservative place to start from that is easy to drive and will get you close on most surfaces:

Schumacher Cougar KC - Tom Yardy - BRCA Nationals - Telford - 29-30.04.2017

If your track is smooth/indoor use the kit 1.6mm hole pistons in the rear. It it is bumpy then you can drill them to 1.7 like Tom did.

I don't know about you but I am fairly new to turf and I have found that all astro is not created equal. The best tire selection can vary quite a bit depending on the exact "species" of astro you are running on. So make 100% sure you know the tire situation at your track.

@motorcitymatt, the new layshaft has been true and shows no sign of wobble. Agreed about the 'species' of astro. Just raced at Thornhill and their astro was like a closed loop velcro (the fluffy part) very odd, but drove very well.
