If anyone's interested, here is a copy of my set-up I've come up with for the Dirt Spec Chassis, I've been running on a tight technical high bite indoor clay track. So far this car is so dialed it's sick, plenty of forward bite, tons of side bite (I often find myself able to pass a lot of the fast 22 and B4 guys around the sweeper with out much trouble), good oversteer/understeer balance, smooth and easy to drive. now it really seems like it's just down to me now not having brain farts on the driver's stand. For more steering (if you want, seems to have plenty) maybe lengthen the wheelbase or move the rear shocks back in front of the axle, both seemed to produce more steering in a nice predictable way. For giggles I tried to running the Diff high, and it really seemed to help plant the car on landings off of some of the bigger jumps, now I can downside (or sort of down side in some cases) some of the bigger jumps at our track and pretty much nail the power down rather then have to ease it on.
