I use the silver swaybar rear on the MO3R. I also use the 5mm internal spacer in all of the shocks and have a total lenght of 56mm.

I run 60D's (Type A's) with the hard tamiya foam insert and run spice 32R rear tyres with the same insert. I also run 1 to 2 degrees toe out front and the 1.5 degree rear MO3R rear uprights.

I have 4.5 to 5mm front ride height and 5 to 6mm rear ride height. Just check to make sure your ride height is not to low as only creates friction and other problems.

I have placed all my electronics in the rear of the chassis, however this is not really that important. I also use 4200 batteries which add more weight to the front.

I have found that Mini setup varies between drivers. I have found this works for me and from here I only tune with different springs and tyres.

When using the Orion 3200 lipo I added weight to the battery and didn't experience any traction roll problems.
