Default 2wd set up

Just invested in a TRF201 and will be running it next week alongside the repaired Blast. Any particular set up tips for the astro? Will not run anything hotter than a 9t at first so tyres/shocks best tips please.

3mm shim on the upright for the bump steer.

The original staggers always seem to work well.

I found if the astro is really high grip if helps to move the front camber link to the outside hole on the C hub, usually helps with grip role.

Under the ball stud on the steering arm.

EDIT: Not on the camber link. its on the end of the steering link. That ball stud.

I think i changed to a longer ballstud aswell because the thread only goes a few mm into the plastic once the shim is on.
