im just curious about this kit. im running igt2 nitro. im only looking for this kit for a reason i dont have to carry or buy 2 different parts/brand. you have a valid point too.

As a general rule its a good idea to keep suspension arms, up rights as spares. Option: not sure, since I don't personally run the car.

It's basically a conversion kit as a ready to run. Esc and battery tray in place of motor and gas tank. Motor mounted to centre bulk head on back side. Parts are interchangeable with your GT2 nitro.

Most popular kits ran are ofna gtp2e or Losi l8ght, because less work needs be done. We also predominantly run on the short wheel base.. Kyosho is the only one at the moment with the long wheelbase.

They are actually hidden up under the bumper/body mount/ suspension pin holder piece right above the stabilizer bars!

You guys running the Revo Shocks:


What did you guys decide to run for oil and springs? I am building a custom with standing shocks and have them laying around with a spring kit to boot. Anyone gimme some quick suggestions to start?

Standing Revo Shocks:

Oil?

Yep i also saw that in the DM-1 spec E PDF manual, so i am one more time confused about wich one i should buy ... the DM-1 Spec E with the standing shock front suspension mount or the GTP2E with the rear pivot ball and blades stabilizer bar upgrade ...

The DM1 have better gears, layout, and just about everything else.

Dm1 Spec e FTW! It is designed for onroad racing, it has a more balanced layout (as CL says), it has lots of tuning options, the inner suspension pin holders are modular, therefore easier to perform maintenance and repairs as opposed to having the the pin holders as part of the fr/rr bulkheads. One major advantage over the gtp2e is lower cg due to the bumpers mounting flush with the chassis. Gtp2e mounts the bumper under the chassis forcing you to run a higher ride height. Good luck with your decision, but in the end, either of them will be very fun to drive!

I am almost convinced. I have 2 Ultra GTP2s(one standard wheelbase and one SNR stretched version) and a Kyosho GT2 converted. Two of these DM1s showed up at our local track and I was impressed. For some reason I thought they were the long wheel base GT2 type and they are not. I like the ball suspension fr and rr, the separate inner lower hinge pin holders, chassis/bumper config and the blade type anti- sways. So much for the buggy based roadrace cars. I think this car will be hard to beat in the right hands. It's too late in the season around here to give it a try but next season............

has anyone tried converting caster ex1.5r 1/8 buggy?

Raman

Not that I know off.. basically if its a buggy, it can be converted. All you need are body mounts, front bumper and an extra set of front shocks to run on the rear.

I'm so happy! I found a bunch of guys that race on road locally! It's VERY informal with a little bit of everything, 1/8 on road, gt8, buggies w/ street tires, & even some 1/5 scale 2wd gas cars! Now that I've found some place to play with a street car, & found I should be able to use the Losi l8ight front bumper & rear body mount, what is the best way to limit the ride height? I raised the spring perch all the way up & set the droop screws so I only had a few mm of droop. My fronts were pretty much sitting on the droop screws, but the rears were sitting on the springs, not the screws. With this kind of ride height in the rear do I need shorter shocks for the rear? Will a gt body fit over the rear shock towers?

I just ordered the Audi R8 body by Kyosho for my GT8.

I've been working on changing over my TRF801 to LWB / 360 mm +.. Here is how it looks so far
