There are a few options or things to consider when setting up your truck. Everyone will have there driving style and therefore some preferences. A short track will usually require more steering, so the shorter wheelbase may be the hot set-up. If there are not a lot of tight corners, go for the long wheelbase option, as it is easier to drave and will help the chassis absorb the bumps better. I typically set my camber to about -1 degrees (tires leaned slightly towards each other), while I run the lowest castor setting (more castor = less steering) I like my truck to have a lot of steering, though. If the steering feels twitchy, ad more castor. For the suspension/shocks, this may vary track to track, but you want to be able to absorb the bumps without bottoming out or upsetting the chassis. It is OK to bottom out from a big jump, so long as you don't bottom out all over the place. On a bumpy track, soften the suspension (lighter oil) to allow the suspension to act faster and absorb the bumps. I like my suspension arms to be about level to the ground on most tracks. If it is extremely bumpy, you may want to raise the suspesnion a little. On a smooth track, lower is better. Hope this helps!
