I am sorry if this has been covered but I couldn't find it on my searches.  I would like to know what all of you guys are running for setups, and what you are getting out of it.  I have read what most people are doing for tires but what about toe in/out, chassis mm length, what springs and the little things that the springs seat over, motor pods, any body modifications or anything else in general that effects you mini-z.  I realize that a perfect setup for one person can be horrible for another driver.  Do mini-z's follow the rules of a larger scale rc on road car or are they in a world of their own when it comes to setting them up?  This is a subject that has really started to fascinate me in my Inferno GT, and since I have a modest RCP track in the basement I can mess with my mini-z and see the real world results from it.  Something I can't do with my IGT.  So please share those theory's with a noob.
The only thing I have done to mine besides tires is change the front springs to a stiffer spring (yellow kyosho spring) and a shorter spacer that the spring goes over to give me a little more travel on the front suspension.  I feel that that lets me carry a little more speed going into a turn.

I don't have time to type this all out right now, but I'll put something together for you.  and I can also point you to some good articles as well.

andy i have found that set up is determined a lot by the body that you will be running.  but im running a mustang body with a ball diff 1 dig toe in and green springs all around mid T plate and dampener rear pod also ball bearings
