What happens if you copy someones setup and it doesn't suit your driving style?

I agree every driver should know this, but a lot of club racers don't. It would just be nice to have a rough starting set up for grass, astro, clay etc that people can put on their cars and know it will handle the terrain ok, but will need a slight tweak to suit them personally.

Everyone knows with the B4 there is one readily available set up that works on pretty much every track, which helps make it so popular. Newbies can by it, stick the set up on it and the car will go ok.

The RB5 is a great car when it's set up, but some club racers may not have the knowledge or patience to get it there. If they had a base set up to use out of the box then they may not trade it in for a B4 so quickly!!
