I don't run any Associated cars so I can't provide any specific help to these directly, but what I like to do is study some posted setup sheets from pro drivers and try to compare what each driver is doing differently from the box stock setup. I also focus on looking for setups running the same class... where a mod setup will more than likely be very different from a stock setup.

One of my favorite resources for setups is Petitrc:
Team Associated B6 & B6D Setup Sheets
Team Associated SC5M Setup Sheets

If you're not familiar with what each setup option does, then I would encourage you to read the following setup guide to help give you a better understanding of what these options do and how to address any concerns with your cars:

You can certainly raise the body posts to eliminate rub, but then you risk increasing the CG and may start to traction roll.
