thanks heaps!
Hi
What type of track are running on?
If your on a parking lot or a low grip track you may want to soften up the car springs a little.
If it's low grip track, try this.
REAR:
Ride Hight: 5.5mm
Toe: -3
Camber: -3
Tire: 37/38 Shore
Rear Roll bar:45 Degrees
Springs: 1.4
Oil: 5-600 CPS
Droop: 4mm
Diff Grease: 3-5,000 WT
Front
Ride Hight:5mm
Toe: +0.5
Camber: -2
Tire: 32/35 Shore
Roll bar: flat
Springs: 1.5
Oil: 5-600 CPS
Droop:2
Diff: Run the spool or 12000WT oil in gear diff.

Tires run at 59mm Diameter front, 61mm rear.
Remember to keep this 2mm spread between the front and rear tires. You need this when running the ED trans.
Also don't set your clutch too aggressive on a low grip track.
Try:
0.5mm Clutch Gap
0.5mm thread showing (tension) on clutch spring.
Orange clutch spring.
VERY little end play when assembled.(But must feel some!!)
Black clutch shoes and one weight in each shoe.

I hope this helps get you some grip.
