I can tell you what works for me. I run indoors on a fairly good carpet.
Front: TRF Fluorine coated dampers (designed for 1:10 TC I think)
55wt. silicone fluid, short blue spring, 2 o-rings and a 3mm spacer inside, 1 o-ring outside. Droop is almost non-existent. Total travel is maybe 4-5mm. Ride height set to about middle of shock travel.
Rear: Same dampers, same spacers. 35wt. silicone, red short spring. Ride height a little bit higher.
Toe set to neutral at normal ride height. 1.5 degree toe in at the rear.
Tires are Team Powers (37?) pre-mounts all around. 5.0mm insert in front, 4.5mm in rear.
You can toss this car into a corner at just about top speed and it just goes where you point it. Pretty amazing, really.
I won my first a-main last week against a very good racer with this setup.
My number one biggest suggestion is run a tire smaller than 60d. Get the Tamiya 55d or any other tire of around that size. You'll be amazed by the car's ability to stick to the track.

i have softerned my front shocks off as i was getting a lot of "push" on turn in this fixed it
i run 35wt in the front with medium springs and 3 hole pistons
50wt in the rear with medium springs and 1 hole pistons
5mm spacer inside the shocks (trf) to lower the droop
and lots of anti wear grease in the diff , but i still get quite a lot of wheel spin out of the corners , how do i counter this ??
