Batley is similar to york. But i wanted to know what other people would use as a starting setup compared to what i have been using. Because other peoples set ups like chris doughtys are quite soft compared with mine.

I have just added to the Atomic Carbon website Mat Dodd's worksop indoor setup, this would be a ideal starting setup ;)

Sorry Ben, I forgot again DOH!! I told you I had a bad memory.

My setup from York Indoors last year is the same as this one of CD's but I ran wedium wheel base and red rear springs, oh and mini pins obviously.

I don't think I could handle the amount of steering Matt Dodd had on his setup, what a monster LOL

Not that I've looked but you always have to dial in steering for Worksop so to be honest I'm not sure any setup for there would be ideal for a carpet based track. My X5 has softer front and harder rear oil, softer front spring, higher front outer ball stud and more anti squat when run at Worksop.

If I were running a diff I would keep setup but move lower front shock mounting to the inner hole and go to long wheel base, maybe even drop to a red piston in the front
