I would save some money & get the plastic ones. As for a setup this is what I got. Front Shocks have a 5mm spacer inside, medium & think shock tensioners. The spacer & tensioners come with the new shocks. I also have whites springs & 90wt shock oil in the front. Back is almost the same as the front. I have dark blue springs & 70wt shock oil in the rear. I am using trinity shock oil for all the shocks(Prefered Brand). I also have the heavy tension sway bar in the front & nothing in the back. I don't know what else I can adjust off hand. If I can figure out more I will post it.

I know what you mean exactly. After I ordered the mini I looked to see how much a body was. I almost passed out when I seen the price.
Sonicnova:
I wish I was living where you do. I would love to have the body be a little cheaper. Almost all tamiya bodies here are that price I think.

the club loaner transponder uses a body clip thru the body...
the ambrc can fit in the chasis with double sided tape,
or on the rear left hand side of the chassis there is 2 spare screws where you can screw it in (but this position lays the PT sideways, and i had problems with the Transpoder picking up the signal, when the loop was above the car)

Front- blue springs, 40 weight, 1 hole piston, shock length 59mm
Rear- yellow springs, 40 weight, 2 hole piston, shock length 59mm
I'm running HPI belted X-Patterns with molded inserts, toe-in carriers on the rear, Eagle high speed gearing set and TA03 ball diff (set pretty tight)
I tried a ROAR stock motor, but it was a little too much for the car. Can I dial out the push, or is this the way M03's handle?
Thanks.
