Default ZX5 for Worksop virgin?

Hi All, Racing for the first time at Worksop this sunday and I know that its a low grip track. I have no experience with driving on this type of surface at all and was wondering if I could be pointed in the direction of a good set-up for the standard ZX5 (non SP non FS)? Something that I could work from.

Got the car handling great on high grip tracks but would appreciate some advice.

I have trawled the set-up pages but not surprisingly most set-ups are now for SP or FS.

I run 3600 trakpower lipos and an Atomic Carbon front tower.

Cheers.

My mistake, I remember watching the Players last year and thought that the cork type surface seemed slippery. If its relatively good grip then I should be OK - well as OK as my driving allows!!

hiya i ran the standard zx5 a few years back. here is my tivertion setup

http://www.petitrc.com/setup/kyosho/...on20051206.htm

the only change i would make from that is to add2-3mm of spacer in the d plate to reduce the front kick up and reduce the rear antisquat to 1mm and change the springs to either kit silver all round or to lime yelloow on the front with kit silver on the rear

Cheers Dave, now just off to polish my screwdrivers and colour-code my zip-ties!! Will be pitting with Lloyd and Chris so I might turn to the dark side and use a crisp packet to hold my rear wing on....... I thought I had seen everything!!
