Whats this aluminum tower and longer shocks all about? The 902 seems like it would allow a longer shock already.

I had a look at the 902 - OFNA DM-1 Shock Tower, does that need to be cut down to be used up front? It seems it would be rather high up front with the longer holes/ears that were designed for the back.

On the rear of the DM1 Spec, it had laydown shocks in the front but stand up shocks in the rear. So it came with a metal mount to use the rear shocks. Same shocks in the laydown version used in the 1/7 scal and electric car.
The carbon fiber shock tower uses a short front shock in the rear. Cuts down on weight, helps stand up the shock more than the long shock and you dont have to use really heavy oil to get the rear end planted. So all positive.

Thanks for your help regarding this... If I get the DM-1 I'll certainly look you up for the stand up kit.
I find it ironic that I'm looking to add yet another 325mm chassis to my garage. I'm not a big fan of the chubby looks of the bodies, but have become accustomed to them.
I have considered a GT2 Ve2 360mm one just for the more scale look, but it seems bodies there are pretty limited. A person can't win

This is why I'm looking for another chassis to hang them on?
The X3 while nice, is really chubby and has sections that just are out of proportion, but I can get over it. I was asking if it would fit the DM-1....
This is my current DP8, it one of the better proportioned GT1 bodies I think
Here it is next to my XO-1, it looks chubby all of a sudden, granted the XO is 410mm
This is my Sweep P1L, which I don't mind at all and proportion wise is the best so far
I've seen the Biltz, and its promising, but not one of my favorites. I really like the Kyosho infernos for their scale looks. I'm not a racer and just a basher so those things are important to me.

Hello from Portugal!
Man, if i buy a new OFNA DM-1 E and want to make it a speed demon, but not only a single pass, just a speed basher till baterys dries out!
What can i do to have a 4092 leopard motor and a XL2 ESC on 8s.
Can you resume it?
And what spur size/pinion.... this is a spool car with no central diff...
I wonder how it brakes? Break pinion/spur? or of course i am missing something!?
Ok...
Glad to see some people working on metal for Rc's that haven't options for those lunatic we are!
Peace!

Hello from greece,
i have seen many people during the past years converting dm-1's for high speed passes ,problem as everybody knows is that we cant gear up our dm-1's with the stock motor mount .
This is a motor mount that i made especially for the castle 1717 bl motor and huge pinion gears up to 40t.
I also made another motor mount for 1/8 type motors like leopard 40 series or castle 1515
In the next days there ll be ready a battery tray for 8s lipo and hv esc's like castle xl2 .
This motor mount can be placed so as the motor is faced to the front or in the rear side of the car without any modifications .
Any suggestions for the battery trays will be helpfull cause i ve made some prototypes but the final product is not ready yet ,think that a double side battery trays backwards and the motor attached to the front will be identical especially for the 1/7 dm-1 .
More details of the conversion at http://brushlessmaniac.blogspot.gr/2...brushless.html
