why without a body? you lose all aerodynamics without it. and your drag would go thru the roof...(lol sounds out of context)
i would say thick oil all around and as low as possible without rubbing bottom..and def limit your droop.. i would go with zero degrees for toe and camber as you need all the foward traction you can get. and have the front a little lower than the rear to help with down force.. if you keep it level when the truck squats on acceleration you will lose some traction on the front.

I'll run without body because the body of the traxxas Slash act like a parachute after 50mph.
Won't a thick oil cause bouncing?

I agree with most of this, but I would keep some toe-in on the rear to stop it fish-tailing you don't want to spin out every time you break rear traction, and I agree with Alport about the lack of body, while exposing the chassis/suspention will increase the drag coefficient considerably it reduces the frontal area massively resulting in a gross drag reduction and a slash body is not exactly a Lola so I doubt he will lose any downforce, it may well seem like he has more as the body drag so high above the CoG will be reducing the weight from the front wheels and moving it to the rear.
