Default Diff & slipper setting up

Stripped and re-built up the ZX5 (original) I bought yesterday and now looking for some advice please if poss on how to set the diff and slipper! I know from past experience that diffs should be smooth with lil or no slip (while holding the outdrives with screw drivers holding the outdrives) is this correct? Going to be trying RogerM's advice (found else where in this section) of setting the diff shimming

No too sure on how to set the slipper though (built it as the manual says with 13.5mm of the shaft showing!)

Also how far forward should the cup on the slipper shaft be to hold the centre shaft? as when I roll the car forward it sound nasty!!

Shocks....how far do you fill these? up to the start of the thread (inside)?

Any one have any starting setup for carpet track running Schumacher mini pins?? ie shock oil/springs camber etc

Should I set the car (fully loaded with electrics) to have the front and rear arms level?

Sorry for all the questions, that you have prob answered a million times before it's just I thought I had a month to get things sorted when in fact I'll be racing it a week Sunday at Ardent's Winter Series

Thanks in advance (yet again)
