You better check the wheelbase, my eb4 xsara body is shorter then the shortest wheel base I could run, front caster set to max, rear pbs both spacers behind the arm, I ended up milling the arm so that I could but another thin spacer, the pbs has 2 types thick and thin, ones like 3mm, the other is 4, I milled it so that I could run 3 thin spacers behind the arm, just to get the wheelbase close to fit the body, I gotta get a new camera, but I am not sure what the wheel base is on the subaru, or what it is on a stock gtp, not a 2, I have the older blue chassis gtp not sure what the 2 is wheel base wise?
Width wise, I already had my car narrowed, so I ended up adjusting the suspension wider and my tires still tuck, I am may put stock length arms back on and check,I have some somewhere gotta see if I can find them, I really wish someone would come out with the current sti hatch?

Ofna sells a complete kit, ,new chassis /mount battery tray etc,
http://www.nitrohouse.com/Car-Hop-Up...duct_info.html
Or you get the rc-monster mount,
http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...od=rcmgtpmount
and piece meal everything else, you need , or you could do it the way I did,
Spend $2k and make your own mount and whatever else you want
Oh on another note for the guys running a center spool and want a different gear other then the 51t, I saw that someone posted about using a a revo gear and a modded center spool gear holder ? can someone post a link to the revo gear(s) ? I might be able to make a small run of new gear holders?

i used rc-monsters brushless calulator
http://www.rc-monster.com/brushless/basic.html

but the dirt guard /battery trays are not listed on the sites page... witch if it was one piece i would love it.but i may order the linked ofna gtp setup you linked me to.

i just hope the diff cases work.

i understand the 2k setup you have ... i have a savage xl that i am converting to electric... and that 2k wouldn't cover the two eninges and all the nitro crap i gave way. -heck its a hobby -right..lol

The ultras havent changed in years, a ultra is a ultra , I have a older blue chassis one, I bought the 4mm cnc chassis they had years ago, so I wanted to use that chassis, and I didnt care for the rc-monster 2 bolt mount, to close together for my taste,and I like the ofna style ,but the spacing is different,and I wasnt about to ghetto my cnc chassis, plus the ofna one wont let you run larger the a 25t pinoin?unless you run a smaller spur? so I made my own to fit the narrower bolt spacing plus use a 3 bolt down, and made mine able to slide the motor over 40% more.
Oh and the 2k wasnt for parts, it was for the mill I bought and everything I needed with it, that does not include material time, oh lots and lots of time, plus anything like a esc or motor,.

You could hit up SNR , for his carbon chassis and buy just the ofna mount and piece meal everything from there ?

i want a snr gtp 2e ! but how do you mount the batteries.... not on the cheap looking plastic mud guards do you?/... that would look cheap on a killer chassis, and other carbon parts from them

I dont think you can do student pricing on large boxes?some like the epiq series , I dont I like the master series.
On the conversion, it's really up to you, but if your thinking of doing the SNR carbon, hit him up, he works for OFNA,but pretty sure he would tell you almost everything will fit , oh , get a PBS rear setup if you dont already have one, and the torsion swaybars are sweet too.
This has both the pbs rear and the torsion swaybars, in 1 kit .
http://www.nitrohouse.com/Car-Hop-Up...duct_info.html
If you already have the pbs rear .
http://www.nitrohouse.com/Car-Hop-Up...duct_info.html
I would hit up bill from IGT and see if he can get them? I didnt see them listed, but I am sure he can and he should list them on his site too
