Hey everyone, I'm a newbie to this thread, but I just got a m03 mini cooper!! Just thought I'd share my excitement. My wife and I want to get an old 1:1 Austin Mini, but that's not happening any time soon, so it was a great excuse to pick up the m03!! I'll try to post pics soon.

Of course, I'm already thinking of hopups... What's everyone's suggestions?

So far I know I should get a set of bearings. Any suggestions on what bearing kit to get? Teflon or metal? Brand? Where to get them?

I was also looking at picking up a set of 4 oil-filled Tamiya CVA Super Mini Shocks (TAM50746). Is that a good choice, or should I pick up some other shock set to replace the stock friction set?

Again, all hopup/tuning suggestions are appreciated! And suggestions on a good website to get parts and hopups for these m03's would be great, too. Thanks!
