Thanks everyone.
The DTM comes with none of the alloy parts that the CA comes with. In my opinion the steering rack is a must. CA comes with aluminum rack, bulkhead and front camber block, DTM includes plastics of these.

Good to know. What alloy parts come on the CA? I'm trying to decide if it's more economical to buy a CA and upgrade to some/all of the DTM parts, or vice versa. I generally buy quite a few alloy parts for my cars anyway - for both durability and bling, so while a DTM might be the choice on the surface, it may not be if the CA already comes with a bunch of alloy stuff I'd just end up buying anyway (for a DTM.)

I did find the list that draboyd19 posted for CA --> DTM, which is helpful.

I posted what comes on the CA. You would have to do the math yourself depending on what options you want to decide which one is better for you.

Perfect. Thanks Matt. I must have glossed over that list on first read.

(I also see petit has some super helpful charts and stuff about all the different parts. Nice!)

No problem. I will say that the DTM has been great the little bit I've tried it on astro.

BK24 - Randy and Matt are both top notch guys/drivers so thier input is spot on. You really can't go wrong with either vehicle for your situation, you just have to determine what's more important to you right away and go from there. You are pretty much going to be out the same money to get one of the other to your specifications (alloy fan, etc.).

If it were me, I'd grab a DTM hands down as it just has so much more tuning capabilities out of the box than the CA with the new wider front c-hubs, and the tuneable rear hubs (the rear hubs are super sweet), and the steering plates have two positions to adjust the feel of your steering (not to mentioned the new style ball cups and rear brace).

If you get a DTM, and want to put all the alloy on it that the CA offers, you'd need the following:

* Bell cranks (don't forget the bearings for the bell cranks to ackerman plate connection)
* Ackerman Plate
* Bulkhead
* Camber Block
* The DTM comes with aluminum camber block on the rear hubs, but you can upgrade the rear camber mount to aluminum as well if you want (again, just a preference but thought I'd mention it since you said you like bling)

If you get a CA, and want to do be a "DTM", you'd need the following:

*front c-hubs
*rear hubs with inserts
*DTM crush bearings for rear hub
* alloy rear hub camber blocks
* rear brace and camber mount housing (comes with plastic camber mount)
* set of 66.5mm CVD's
* set of DTM axles
* alloy rear camber mount (if that is your choice)
* DT/DTM carbon steering plates

Note, they do make a set of aluminum two piece rear hubs that are basically the DTM style, they just don't have the insert for 7-8 total locations, vs just the two holes on the aluminum ones, but for $70 you get the hubs, axles, cvds, rear hub camber blocks, and you use the same axle crush bearings found on your CA. So if you go that route, you'd just have to grab the other parts listed above.

Again, just giving you options to consider sir. If you get one, welcome to the Yokomo community - a lot of great folks to help you if you need it.

Kind words - we all just want to see the brand grow and help those along the way be faster with them. Ask any questions, and we'll try and chime in as we can.

Does anyone know anything about all the gold hardware (turnbuckles, screws, etc...) on Lee Martin's EOS-Wels car? Who makes those screws with the cone-shaped top on them?
I don't usually like gold, but his car looks really tough.

One more addition to the list of differences that I am aware of - the CA and DTM come with different rear arms - the CA has Z4-008RS4 rear ones that replicate the wider stance from when we would put the Bmax4 rear arms on the car and the DTM comes with the original, original Z2-008R ones.

Send him a message on Facebook, and you'll get the answer you seek, or tune into his next Live Facebook chat and ask him there - he responds and is a super guy.

There are a few on here for an older YZ-2 that will get you close, and one for a DT as well that is more recent:

Good call - I run the B-Max4/2 rear arms on all my yok's to this day still so I always forget about this difference

What are peoples opinions on using the following for lower traction conditions:

https://www.amainhobbies.com/yokomo-...300ruw/p453879

I wouldn't mind a more stout mounting point for the rear ball studs, and then does add weight to the rear. Or, is the flex seen with the plastic still a better option back there?
