i need some input here. im trying to do the suspension setup on my car and i haven't found any real good sets for it. for the time being i have it set up like my 1/10 nitro touring car (1 degree camber front, 2 rear, 1 degree toe in front, 3 degrees toe in rear, 6 degrees castor) but i know thats not going to work that well. does anyone have any good setups for a starting point??? im after

camber
caster
toe
ride height
shock oil
springs
swaybars

any info will help.
 
i did see that, however i was hoping for some more people to have some input. im sure everyone doesn't put that setup into their cars and leave it at that
 
Here are a few more copied from others:

Here's my starting setup for an EVO... I'm not sure what version comp car you have but this should give you an idea...

Front

-Red F1 Progressive Springs with 7000 weight oil
-Shock in lower outer and upper middle hole
-Droop, about 4 MM
-Ride height, depending on surface anywhere from 7-10MM
-Caster, 1 clip forward
-Camber Chassis pushed down flat on table (easiest with shocks off)with tires on or set up gauges 0 deg
-.05 deg toe out
-Sway Bar 3/4 hard

Rear

-red progressive spring (if you need more traction drop to Orange or Yellow) 4000 weight oil
- Top lower mount (my rear arms are completely different than yours)
- 3MM droop
- 8-10MM ride height depending on surface
-Camber, chassis pushed down with 3 deg on the outside tire and 2 deg on the inside. Usually there will be more left turns so you'll run 3 deg on the left side.
-sway bar 1/4 hard

A buddy of mine runs the comp car with Orange Front and yellow rear progressive springs, the car is very soft...

Tires are GRP A's (S-1) all around... If you have too much steering you can try B's on the front...

Wow. That setup he posted is very hard to drive. More like this on a FG:

Front:
springs blue with no curve on the spring(FG´s)
(test blue springs before you test yellow or purple springs)
Shock oil: 8000 or 9000
Height: 7mm - 9mm
Camber (hold down) 1 or 0 degress, The wheels should stand like it had negative camber in front when youre not holding it down.
Toe-Out: about 0,5 to 1,5 degrees

Tires: GRP New C or GRP A Always! I recomend GRP NEw C with better traction and lasts longer.


Rear:
Springs Orange with curve on the springs(FG´s)
shock oil: 5000 or 6000, maybe 7000
Height: 8mm - 11mm
Camber (hold down!) 2 degrees on the outside of the wheel.
Toe-In: 3 degrees

Tires: GRP New C or GRP A Always! I recomend GRP NEw C with better traction and lasts longer.

This setup works with all tractions on tracks! i think you need softer setup for a parking lot.

This setup works with weather sunny up too 30 celsius then maybe you should change more camber, harder suspension.
Coldest will be around 17 celsius then you must have a softer setup.

This setup works almost everywhere. Here in sweden and Denmark where we have really good drivers drive often with similar setup to this!
