We have some basic non-wing (and winged) chassis setups posted on our website; http://www.xxxraceco.com/chassis%20setup.htm. Those should be (at least) a good starting point. Tuning for specific handling conditions from there can be found on our adjustment pages; http://www.xxxraceco.com/chassis%20adjustment.htm.
If you have detailed questions, feel free to consult our tech department at [email protected].

Invest 15 bucks in the Steve Smith/Jimmy Sills sprint car book - do a web search on Steve Smith Autosports to get to their web site. It has a ton of hints to get you started.... but the best thing you can do is go to the local track, watch the hot shoes, and ask a lot of questions. Most of the front runners are glad to help beginners, up to a certain point.
And if you're really a beginner, offer your services to a mid-pack team. Just do so with the proviso that you're trying to learn and can really do little more than scrape mud and get in the way.
Then, show up when you say you will, ask questions, and be prepared to make a few mistakes.
Good Luck!
Chuck.....
