At the moment im running as follows:

FRONT
Springs.............Silver (kit)
Oil....................30w
Shock pos..........middle top, middle arm
Castor blocks.....10 degree
Camber link........inner pos. on both ends
Camber.............1 degree negative
Toe..................1 degree out
Arms................. just below level

REAR
Springs.............Silver (kit)
Oil....................25w
Shock pos..........middle top, inner arm
Camber link........inner pos. at both ends
Sus holder.........A25

19T reedy brushed motor
Schumacher mini pins all round with blue inserts (slightly worn)

The problem i have is both understeer and oversteer!!....
let me explain...using this setup i get poor high speed turn in and poor turn in on full lock at medium speed, i then changed the oil in the rear to 35w and put the shock mounts to outer, top and bottom! this now gives me oversteer at the end of the straight and it seems to 'hook' at tight corners.. I have tried a lot of different combinations but this is about the best iv found

Now i am no great driver but it is hard to develop your skill when the car is not setup right, Iv had my Lazer from December and think its a crackin car! half the joy of racing it for me is learning the setup....i think i just need a little help...

Thanks Roger...

Paul..
