Wow. That battery is small. How do you keep it attached to the car? There doesn't seem to be room for tape. The bodies from HPI seem to be the narrowest ones on the market, with the possible exception of the Civic. They can present a real challenge for wheel fitment.

When we got the new black carpet at Carcar, my mini turned into a bit of a pig. After much tweaking, tuning and advice from others, I found a fairly good set up that's got the car tame and controllable again. I've gone from the traditional soft springs on the front/hard springs on the rear with rear right height a little higher, to yellow springs all around and the car as low as it can safely go. I'm running M-Grip tires on the front with lots of glue on the first tread block and side wall. The car has better turn in and is more controllable down the straight. I also took out a few degrees of camber on the front. I had been using Tamiya's shorter top links and the bottom mounting hole on the chassis for more camber gain on the gray carpet.
