Newbie questions....Please help!!!

My brother and I just got a set of MR-02 RM's tonight. We got the ugraded FET's with the Red Bull A4. We have been racing 1/10 touring cars ep and gp for years but thought we would enter the world of Mini-Z. Got a few questions:

-I've seen so many pictures of Mini-z' where the wheel gap and is non-existant. How do I lower the vehicle? or do you adjust the body?

-What Atomic parts do I need to convert to a 94mm MM and still be able to run NSX bodies?

-Will the same parts allow me to conver to 98mm MM so I can run an Enzo?

Already got:
-Atomic Ball Diff
-Atomic Aluminum Nuts
-Kyosho Titanium Screw set

I haven't decided on suspension components because of the questions above. I also want to get a motor pod but don't know which one to get. Please help us out.

Bryan

get PN multilength motor mount. you'll be able to use both 94 and 98 mm bodies. Defenitely get disk damper and set of graphite T-plates. Bearings are must, but i'd omitt the ball diff (especially atomic) at this time

x2 on the PN ML mount. You will need a motor that has screw holes in it. Basically anything that's not Kyosho. A SPeedy05 would be a good start or an Atomic Standard, Atomic Stock or HFAY spec motor would also be great choices.

I just built a 94mm MM chassis with the PN multi-length damper and alum. motor mount, graphite h-plate, and Speedy 05 motor. I used the Atomic V2 ball diff. 'cause the place I ordered it all from didn't have the PN ball diff in stock.

I only ran it for an hour or so with a 360 Modena body but I'm quickly becoming a 94mm MM mount fan.
