Hi guys,
I have read through the entire forum and I see little to no information on racing. Does anyone actually race this car? If so what are your setups please. diff and shock fluids and such.
I am trying to get into on road racing and the track i will be at is medium to large with medium to high grip.
The back end of this car seems to slide out a lot anything to help with this?
Over the winter I put rear hub extenders +2mm and the SNR stand up shock tower.

Darksidems shock towers for frobt and rear $28 each, gear box shim kit raises 2mm $19, mugen aluminum pivot balls $40, extra set of front shocks for rear $25 on ebay currently, lightweight outdrives. Contact grenade10 he can allocate everything for you. I hope this helps friend.

Thanks G, isn't all that stuff for the nitro version? I have the electric.

So I have a 1:7 DM-1, and though I prefer nitro, I absolutely HATE the clutch bell on the DM-1.. So, I'm considering a brushless conversion. I have a Ripper 2000 motor and HW 150 ESC laying around. What else do I need for a simple, cheap, basic conversion? Is it all doable with readily available parts? Thanks..

Maybe someone can shed more light, but I know RC monster has a brushless conversion plate that replaces the rear center diff mount (like many other motor mount conversions). Now I think the 1/7 DM-1 might be slightly different than the 1:8 electric dedicated, but the mount should work fine.
On this topic, what are the advantages and disadvantages to both DM-1's compared to the GTP2E? Both are about $200 for the kit version, but the 1:7 looks cool too. I imagine bodies for the 1:7 are a little less plentiful.

Exept for the main conversion parts (motor mount ,battery box) you ll need to replace the 2 speed transmition to one speed with center spool .The parts are interchangeable with the electric dm-1 so you can just replace the 2 speed with center spool adapter of the dm-1e(in this case you use the same center shaft ) .You can also keep the 2 speed but i dont recomended.
I can supply to you the conversion parts so if you are interested please send me a pm.

So just going by RC monster's website, the single speed conversion (you can make one yourself) and the motor mount together cost $75 + shipping. A new kit costs ~$200 so the value is kind of out of proportion. I don't mind paying $75, but $200 quickly becomes $400 after you buy wheels, pinions, servo, etc. I'm just gonna throw my 2200kv and a 7955tg that I have laying around, but there must be other options, right koval?

The mount on the e kit looks kind of flimsy compared to center diff mounts.

I'm not sure what you mean by the high speed mount, but I'm pretty sure I will just buy a Spec-E and probably buy the RC monster mount and single speed conversion unless there are others who make them. I read some stuff on the single speed and how you can make your own easily, or repurpose other parts, but my internet skills are severely handicapped because I just had laser eye surgery.
