Whatever you do, don't spend any more money on upgrading the Mad rat.
Other than the shocks, leave it as standard.
The reason I say this is it's a rear motor buggy and not really suitable for the track at Mansfield. They don't offer enough rotation. I used to run an Ansmann X2 pro (the racing version of the Mad rat) and really struggled with the setup. I changed it for a Team C TP02c (same basic buggy but mid motor) and instantly went 2 seconds a lap quicker and so much nicer to drive. You'll be looking to change it for a mid motor pretty soon. In the meantime run minipins all round. Cut staggers don't give enough grip up front.
