Hey ttso, You can try my setup and start from there use this for more of a guide line and eventually you will find a setup that suits you.

Im not sure for 23t setup I've never ran them just 27t,19t and Mod over here in the States. I know there is a 23t thread on here somewhere I think someone posted there 1/12th motor gearing/setup there.

As for dampner tubes it seems more popular than disks the car is bit more consistant.

Hope this helps
Mike

Your on point with the tire's but try this:

Front:
Jaco 2 stage double pink little softer than purple
Associated .20 spring
1 degree camber
10 degree caster

Center spring Olive w 20 or 25w associated oil
T-Plate .63 take the center screw out of the T plate just run the outer ones

Rear tires Jaco 2 stage double pink
Now for traction compound try this:

Use paragon let it sit for 15 min while the paragon is still on the tire massage Copper tone # SPF 45 suntan lotion on the tires and let that sit for 15 min

What the coppertone does is hold the traction on longer I think that should help your traction problems

again I have not raced asphalt in years but that setup i posted should put you in the right direction.

Hope this helps
Mike
