You need a new chassis, rear drive pod (all the parts from the spur gear and out + the other side), you need the RM's steering knuckles, I may missd out a few. You still need an F1 body 7 tires.
I think getting the RM kit would be an overall better deal as you get new parts too.

Don't think it will be that cheaper to convert to a RM.

Send an email to RC Champ Adviser for a quote. You won't be disappointed.

I'm thinking of others as I write this. I just handed out my last spare pod assembly to a destroyed left side pod. I've switched to the 3 Racing pod assembly, aluminum on all 4 sides because of the one I broke personally.
Is anyone running some sort of washer or shim to protect the ride height adjusters and rear pods? We've lost 6 battles with the PVC at our track so far as the bearings just get punched right through the side of the pod. I'm tempted to take a thin fender washer slightly bigger than the ride height adjusters, make sure the diameter is 6 mm and put them in there on both sides. I think it would help distribute the blow the pod would take to the thicker plastic of the pod side.

Anyone have a list\part numbers for all the available Tamiya foam F1 tires?
Also, do any companies make an arbor to true these tires?

John,
I saw some aluminium ride height adjusters from 3Racing on RCMart.

Anyone??? I would gladly spring for the extra .50 cent per kit just to have normal screws... sorry.... I just had to get it off my chest...
