3) in rc-mini.net many modified the rear camber link, any1 done the same for the front? what the measurement? advantages gain by able to change chamber in the front?
1) A larger diameter tire will give you more top speed, while sacrificing acceleration. You may also experience more traction roll.

2) I apologize for being a smartass, but the best solution is to stop crashing into the boards. I had the same problem. I broke countless plastic knuckles, bent a bunch the the 3Racing ones, and I've even got marks on my Tamiya M03R knuckles from the motor. Now I don't crash as much, and stuff doesn't break.

3) You can gain a little grip by shortening the upper link on the front of your mini. I don't know by how much, but if you find an adjustable link kit, set it to it's shortest setting and work from there.
