I run the same shock set-up on my 511 and 502 so in regards to set-up, just copy a decent 511 outdoor set-up.
The only major thing you need in the 502 is weight, stick a massive lump of brass or lead between the saddles, and another 30-40g up front around the servo.
You can also go the whole way and flip the inner camber plates to run the ballstud upside down. The only other thing needed is our JTbitz steering link which adds more steering.
I found the 502 a very simple car to set-up and was able to drive it fast straight away, but outdoors i do find the 511 easier and more stable, especially out of bends with the forward traction a belt drive gives.
