I ran my car in anger for the first tiem at the weekend... and was impressed. couple fo questions I would like to ask if any one has hints and tips...

 35wt
Diaphragm: Cut out
Piston: Three hole
Spring: Schumacher Red (new)
Track Washers: 2mm front/2mm rear
Anti-Roll Bar: None
Shock Position - Tower: Middle
Shock Position - Wishbone: Middle
Front Rake: 10-degrees
Front Link Bracket: 38.5mm (2mm washers)
Washers on Hub: 2.5mm (hub carrier cut flush)
Ride Height: d/shaft level

Rear Suspension
Oil: 25wt
Diaphragm: Cut out
Piston: Three hole
Spring: Schumacher Yellow
Wheelbase: Short
Toe In: (3.5mm rear/1.5mm front)
Anti Squat Washers: 1.3 degrees (2mm rear, 1mm front)
Rear Link Bracket: 37.5mm (5mm washers under ball)
Shock Position - Tower: Middle

I found the car didn't push enough on power, e.g. going on to the straight the car.. I was thinking of trying more toe in on the rear, also either getting rid of some of the washer under the 'ball' or removing some from the front camber link bracket...

Thanks
