lazer zxr for winter racer

[rob m]

Hi all. First of all i would like to thank you for the advice and help you gave me in a previous thread for my zx , but this car has now become spares for a lazer zxr . I have stripped cleaned and rebuilt the zxr to the manual. I am planning to use the car over winter at two venues but want to keep the car as original as possible or with period upgrades.
The items i have changed are the shock towers for carbon fibre items with the front having the much needed bridge for strength, associated plastic servo mounts. Also the pistons in the option house shocks for modern lazer mk5 items (w5181-03 piston set). I am using lipo saddles 5600mah 95c and brushless 6.5t hpi motor 100t spur with 23t pinion.

Before i put my pride and joy up against the new cars i thought i would ask for the knowledge from the expert vintage lazer racers.....

is the manual a good starting point for a set up of the car?
What shock oil/pistons and lb springs to use front and rear?
Will the slipper be up to the job with a 6.5t brushless?
Any weak areas for the car to watch for?

The track surfaces i will be racing on are a hard rubber floor(indoor running track) , also a mixture of carpet/polished floor.
