From the info you gave and the question, I take it you fairly new at this. I would suggest you contact the people that made your chassis. Even if you aren't the first owner, they like to see their chassis do well and the last thing they want to see is it do very badly. They may be more help than you think. They should at least give you a basic set up. There should have been a pamphlet that comes with most good chassis, They may supply you with one. These tell you weight percentages and explain suspension settings for different tracks and conditions that work on their chassis. If this isn't possible read all the books you can about circle track racing of any kind and maybe hit a seminar. I will tell you the first hurdle you will face if you are a new driver is that the car isn't pushing, your just not going fast enough. What that means is if you don't push the car it will push. Once you get by that you can tune the suspension. Don't be in a hurry, It will take about 5 years to get good at it if your going to.
