7. lost on sedan insert plus mini s? M grip and type A's are the different Tamiya tires right?
8. Do you use the the Tamiya reinforced wheel or just the stock wheel and what inserts do you recommend? Hards or sfts and in the front or rear.

Thankyou for taking the time to answer my questions. It is very nice that you are willing to share your knowledge with other racers. Thanks for helping me get my Mini Cooper up and running. See you maybe at the finals?
