Shaun,

If you are bottoming out try changing the pack of your shocks first. What setup did you use? If you go to RCTech, Rocco a factory Xray driver can give you some great pointers on the 808. Fortunately for me, he posted a starting setup for his local track which matches my local track description.

One thing I can say about the 808 is that is very sensitive to changes. I was practicing last night and played with a few things. Every time I made a change, it was very noticeable on the track the very next lap. I lowered the rear inner camber link to the lowest hole and wow was it a completely different car. I also put a thicker rear diff fluid in and the car was almost undriveable. I think for this car going with anything in the range of 1k-2k is the ticket. I am still playing with the front and center diff fluids. Also, I raised my ride height slightly and it was drastic. I found at my track that a high ride height is not a good a thing. I would set the ride height no higher than arms level and even that might be too high.
