This one works for me:
Front - 0.020" springs, 5 deg dynamic castor blocks, 3.25 deg static castor (see manual for clip settings) 1 deg negative camber, 0 deg toe in/out, one thick spacer behind servo flanges, steering arms level, 2mm spacers between lower arms and ally bulkhead, ride height 4mm.
Rear - gold side springs just touching, 20wt side shock, 30 wt center shock, Gold centre spring, pod level, ride height 4mm
Battery in forward position, centre shock one hole up from bottom, 171mm rear width, Protoform AMR body. Not sure about tyres as they will depend on the track condition. I suggest you start with Yellow rear/2x pink front (conservative!) but if grip comes up then probably Pink rear/Magenta front. Best to get someone who has run at Maritime recently to give you tyre advice.
That set-up works pretty much everywhere. Get your mechanical grip right first with the correct tyre choice, and then fine-tune the car from there. Make one change at a time with the car, drive it like you love it, not stole it!
Your lap times will be fast when it feels slow, and when you have the chassis doing the work in the corner, not the steering or the throttle. Whatever you change ALWAYS check your lap times, never rely on what it feels like to drive. You will qualify highest when your fastest lap and your average lap are no more than 3 to 4/10ths of a second apart. Tune the car to be consistent before you make it faster.
HTH. If you have any questions, or if I've missed something, please ask.
