I ended up on

front:
35wt
#3 piston (ae numbers - smallest holes in other words)
blue springs (AE)
shocks inside at top, and middle on wishbone

rear:
30wt
#1 piston (again, going by AE numbers, so largest hole piston)
silver springs (AE again)
shocks 2nd from inside at the top, and outside at the bottom


This was loads better than when I started the day - the rear end was way too soft. This felt pretty good.
If you don't have the AE springs, then the tamiya ones are a similar balance but one step softer from what I can tell - and richard isherwood was running them with good results.

I would be tempted to say go for the oneway - I didn't really have time to fit it and take photos of it (for the review) so i left it as standard. It felt a little weird to drive a fixed 4wd, but it was good. I will probably start this weekend on the one-way

People say you can use the brakes when you have a fixed drive, but I just found I had to be more aggressive with the car, and putting the brakes on made it push wide. A centre one way would be a nice option and one should be out soon I think.
