Rear wishbones, middle hole (if using 3 hole wishbones, otherwise outer if 2 holes). Front wishbone outer hole. Battery saddle pack forward placement with foam insers by rear tower. 10g weight on either side of full size servo (used for more weight). Vts slipper clutch fitted with ceramic diff balls and tungsten thrust race. Rear hubs set on middle. 2wd slim yellow mini pins and uncut, rear yellow mini pins uncut. Ride height rear with 1mm spring spacer and no spring clamp. Front with spring clamp and 4mm spacer. Shocks worked better with 1mm pack so gets hard to push shaft fully into body 1mm from end of travel, with standard silver shock shafts as gold is a lot harder to get pack.
Hope this helps

Thanks for that, should be useful for the weekend ��
Actually managed to give mine its first run today. It was outdoors on high grip astro. Made a couple of small changes to my staring setup resulting in a car that was v consistent and easy to drive and at the same time quick (only thing holding it back in places was me not wanting to break it).
My setup at the end of the day:
Front:
Yellow low pro cut staggers
20mm ride height
No1 pistons, 32.5wt oil, brown springs
Shocks middle on the tower and outer on arm
Link middle height outer, middle hole on tower
25 deg hubs
Std Ackerman
0.5deg camber
Rear:
Yellow rear minipin
20mm ride height
No1 pistons, 27.5wt oil, silver springs
Shocks middle on tower, outer on arm
Link inner on tower, inner on hub
0deg hubs
Diff medium/loose
10g either side of the servo
60g straight behind the servo (in battery compartment)
Shorty battery against the weights
40g behind shorty
A couple more things to try, red/green from springs and maybe drop front oil to 27.5-30wt, 2deg rear blocks (to make the car a touch more aggressive on turn in)
