Default Damping, oil, pack, springs, etc...
I can't get my head around the whole dampers setup thing.

What sort of springs, pistons, oil should I be using for a reasonably bumpy track such as PDA?

That's true but my B44 and my trf501x pistons are identical in size!
Seen setup sheets where people have been using AE pistons on the 501x car and i think even Hupo have been using some!
