Not really true...the "0" is misleading, it's measured from the bottom of the chassis to the bottom of the threads. That's a pretty standard setup and there is plenty of travel.

9.25 front, 10.5 or 10.75 rear.

No, usually different set up, but close. The electric car is a tad heavier, so I'd go up a step on springs and oil/piston.

Yeah, I run 7/5/3 at about 95% of tracks. You can go lower in the front if you want more steering on a loose track.

Yup, the car should have a lot more mid corner rotation. The front end will be doing more of the work.

It's mainly preference. The 14's will have more steering exiting the corner and be better in the bumps, while the 10's will have more steering entering the corner. I prefer the 10's myself.

Figure out what the manufacturer says for deck height. Rule of thumb is .006" deck height per 10% nitro. But in general, you should add a .1mm decompression shim if you're switching to a higher nitro...

If you go with thicker sway bars, it would probably be worse. Without knowing where your set-up is currently, I would start with thinner rear diff oil, or raising your inner ball-stud.
