[cwilson]

i have just got my hands on one of these cars and i am looking for a decent setup for the car. i current have a nice steup but i am looking to make it handle better. any tips or tricks welcome.

What model 2000 is it? Upright or laydown shocks?

[cwilson]

it has laydown shocks. i've been reading the manual i belive it is a s.s.t version with batteries on one side.

Ok thats probably a Cat 98, same as mine.

Heres my Astro setup I was using at Bury today. For an old girl she looked pretty good and went very fast.

Front - Inner (top) hole on wishbone. Top hole on tower. Grey spring 30wt oil kit pistons (can't remember the number).

Rear - Outer hole on wishbone. Top hole on tower. Black spring (softer than grey, but not sure this is a Schumacher spring) 40wt kit pistons.

1 degree camber all round, 1.5 degree toe-in, Schumacher yellow minispikes with med inserts all round, Outside row cut off the fronts.

Not sure this is a great setup but I was really racing 2wd and just playing around with the Cat but it seemed to work fine.
