standing up is good for jumps, up and down with less side to side dampening. exactly opposite for laying them down.

it is all in what you are trying to accomplish in your setup to fit your driving style. what one person does might not work for another. best thing to do when figuring your setup is to hit the track, and do laps. then change only 1 thing and drive it and record what you have changed and how it was affected on the track. then change one more thing and drive and record etc etc. after you do this on a couple tracks and understand what each setting is supposed to affect (most manuals for decent rc's show this. if not the xray xb8 manuals have awesome setup info for each change and what they do)

learn to do it yourself, not what others use. I have tried some radical setups and hated the car. I didn't drive like the guy who's setup I copied.
