Hmm.... I might need to check out those CF shock towers for my DM1-S.
I've been planning on going with standup shocks in the front but haven't gotten around to it yet.
How about a shortened "radio tray" (really just a steering servo mount) for a DM1-S running BL power?

Oh well nope, I'll be running Nitro power this Sunday.
I got knee deep into it and there was too much engineering to do. I was hoping the motor mount I bought would drop in, nope.... no such luck, had to start from scratch and design my own....... with still more to do and I want to do it right the first time, I decided to just put the Nitro power back in.
I'll be BL by the Nov. race for sure.

Dan Ofna makes a motor mount that will bolt right up to your DM1

That was a pretty good video. It looks like a pretty fast race. I'm looking forward to making it to next month's race. It looks like the weather was not even a factor.

YES!!! We finally had good showing for the 1/8GT class in both Electric and Nitro power in SoCal, Wahoo!!!.
But, I can assure you by the next race there will be one less Nitro powered car and one more electric powered car. There's no doubt BL power makes these cars rock and is way less hassle to race. Good bye starter box, fuel, igniter, flame outs...... hello "plug and play". Not only are the BL cars much much easier to race they are stupid fast and electric braking is hands down better than mechanical brakes on cars this size.
LOL, and it was the first time Eric put that car on a race track. His converted Losi is pretty awesome.
What was cool is we had a mix of chassis, GTP2e, DM1-S, Converted Losi, Converted Tamiya, and maybe a couple others I didn't know about.
These cars were turning in lap times competitive with the faster 1/10 cars.

I've been trying to incorporate a little mixing of mechanical with motor brakes just to keep the drag brake in place. Now you are aware that the mechanical brakes do reduce your motor temps?
