Sounds great.

I'd be open to any set-up advice for the minis. My son and I plan on running the minis at the TCS race, but so far have only run them a couple times at Cheese City RC in Monroe, WI.

Here's what I've been told so far:
> internal spacers in shocks to lower ride height (what's the min. ride height for minis at Trackside??)
> S grip tires in front with hard sedan inserts
> M grip tires in rear with softer inserts
> 70 - 90 wt oil in front
> 50 wt oil in rear
> blue springs in front, yellow in rear
> mount electronics as low as possible

Tamiya tires only for this race? I ask because I bought a used mini for my son and it came with I think Sorex slicks.

Thanks.
