3dot front springs and 2 dot rears.
600cst front oil, 400cst rear
7000cst in the diff.
Long rear shock bottom and unwind the front shock bottoms about 2-3 turns
50g under the lipo (or a bit more)

The kit springs are a bit soft
7k in the diffs just seems to suit the xb2 on astro.
The rear long shock bottoms give the car the droop it needs to ride ripples/bumps well.
600/400cst is a good starting point for high grip astro.

This is the second time out with the car and my second time with a off rd car in the past 15 years. I normally run TC.

Im finding the car to be a bit unstable with the suspension not settling down in the bumpy sections and have the tendency to try and traction roll which turns to mid corner push.

the car is set up as kit, accept for the rear shocks on the back of the tower and weighs in at 1570g. (is this too light?) front stagger ribs yellow and rear mini dart yellow pre-guled.

really enjoying the car though, as i have know real expectations of going fast in this class.
