Did some checking myself, and I see how right you are! I went ahead and ordered the roller from TH along with 2 cans of paint, a circle cutter, and a couple of parts for my TT ST-1 -- all for under $200 shipped with the member coupon!
Gonna try out Pactra racing red backed with outlaw black and see what happens. Should turn out to be a nice burgundy I hope.
Last few things to order are the RC Monster single speed conversion and a couple of spurs and pinions. I'm going to put a hobbywing XERUN 150A esc and a hobbywing sensored 2200kv 4274 motor on her. Runs very very cool on my Thunder Tiger converted S3 buggy, so I'm hoping to heat it up a little with this car.
Stock wheels are immediately going on ebay, lol. I'm not even gonna glue 'em. I'll run with the el cheapo suprasales slicks that I have now. I can't even get those to balloon at 70+mph on my buggy, and they were a whopping $25 for a set of 4 pre-glued. I'm quite sure I'm going to need something different shortly. Not sure what yet.
Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it.

I was planning on tuning the car with whatever pinion and spur combo came with it and then installing the RCM single speed conversion with a 40T spur and a 29t pinion. Then do some testing to see what happens and tweak where necessary.
The only batteries that I have are a couple of 40c turnigy 5s packs and several 20c 4s hard packs. The 4s hard packs are way underrated IMO. I can do standing backflips with them on my ST-1 truggy with a 15T pinion, and they don't even get warm when I run the heck out of them. Best bang for the buck 4s pack you can get at $22.
I am somewhat concerned at running them in this car though. Going to be verrry careful.
Any thoughts on that?

I ordered the porsche from http://www.igthobbies.com/OFNA-OFN31...DY_p_1559.html it was out of stock like that, took a few weeks to get it to me but thats cool for a discontinued body. Maybe he can track down a subaru too

Stock gearing will get you ~35-40MPH on 4S. I think you will get some heat with 40/29 gearing. You might wanna rethink that set up. Using the MPH calculator below I get 700+ MPH on your set up. Your Lipos/esc will not like that gearing for sure. I race w/49/24 gearing and hit 55mph on the straight using 70C 4S and 2250KV.

Any chance the DRX WRX body would fit the GTP2e?

Any body with a 320mm-330mm wheelbase length will fit any short wheelbase car(GTP2,DM1,Inferno GT1 ans so on) Not sure which is the DRX WRX but if its the 10th scale subaru body i seen before then no it wont fit

DRX VE Subaru Body
Kyosho specs the DRX Subaru body at 316mm wheelbase, just short 
I guess the width is off too, 260mm for the DRX, its 200mm for the GTP right?

I think maybe you mistyped something... Using a 5s battery, 40t spur and 29t pinion I show ~140ish mph. Probably still too high, but not quite 700mph.

This may be a stupid question, but this is my first on-road car so I'm allowed a few, lol.
I'm building my GTP2e and am getting ready to trim and paint the body. I noticed that with the front mounts installed, it looks like the body is too high. Can I just cut the bottom posts off a little? The ones that go into the foam bumper I mean.
As it is right now, the body sits about 10mm higher than the front bumper. It doesn't look right. Do I need to use the rear bumper holes for mounting with this body?
Any advice?
EDIT: Got it sorted out. So far, so good..
