Great to hear another 1/8 on-road conversion is on its way! Electric or gas? Were u able to mount your body of choice yet? I saw your post on the other GT based thread. Tires are very critical component you didn't mention. Many good tires are out there (Sweeps, Ipanema, PMT, ect). You really need to limit the shocks and/or change to shorter shock shafts and have ride height between 10-15mm. I'd start w/ 1 degree of negative camber on all 4 and tune from there. Try 1 degree of toe out in front to gain steering if your neutral or toed in. I hope this helps...post some pics so we can see where you're at!
Next GT8 race is in Corona Hobby Town Jan 16th! Come and check us out! Nitro or electric.
