Still the decision seems to have paid off, running a setup very similar to the one I used last year (http://www.thard.co.uk/setups/CarpetWars07Rd6.jpg), but with a few changes.
1) 50wt F and 40wt R oil in the shocks + rear shocks in hole 4 on the tower
2) A/E rear blocks
3) 3.5mm under the rear outer camber link
4) Middle brace removed, and no motor mount screw (reminds me... need to write that up for the website!)

End result, q'd 7th O/a, and ended up 5th in the A final... best result at a carpet wars meeting. Just need to find some more speed (motor and batteries can be pushed harder I think)... but the chassis is spot on. Maybe some minor tweaking on shock oils (really want to try 45wt in the front, but can't find anyone who stock AE oil), but thats about it.

Overall happy bunny

Hey Ed, you already have AE 45wt, sort of...
Just mix 50/50 with the 40wt and 50wt
