Stu,
Your earlier sentiments about the simple feel good factor of racing are well put. I have been racing model cars of of one sort or another for over 40 years staring with slot racing and moving onto RC later. I have always been a mid table racer and often think there is more fun to be had in mid table land than there is higher up if you see what I mean it's a case of knowing your limitations but not loosing the aspiration to be better. I race GT12 and LMP and on occasion a Tamiya Mini and for my sins am chairman of a club. I spend time setting up my cars and love the level of engineering involved. Each Week I arrive at the club hopeful I have the right setup and the car will go well and I will finally be carrying huge amounts of speed into the corners when I longer get that feeling then it will be time to stop.
You will find the Zen simply beautifully engineered and if you get any issues pop into to West Kent and ask Paul or David they are two of the most helpful guys you will find, but then ours is a sport that is full of caring helpful folk.
In terms of setting up the Zen I would advise checking the centre pivot to ensure it is not binding make sure your tyres are trued down I start at 44 front 46 rear and run a bead of superglue on each tyre wall. Then run it out of the box to see what is needed you'll find it won't be much.
