Thanks for the orientation, now Iam wondering since this setup is for the dm1 spec, this mean that the rear shocks are vertical, right, ok in the pro 1/7 both shocks are horizontal. now the question is since the front shock in the spec uses 1000 (diff oil) ( which are horizontal) doesnt the same go for the rear shocks in the pro 1/7 car?( also horizontal)

I did the same thing awhile back. I had two extra CRT
chassis and bought a used CR buggie. I used a small
single speed spur gear on the center diff and a very
large geared clutch bell. The kick-up on the front of
the chassis didn't effect the handling any. I just
made a wedge to get the front bumper level. I set
it up for D.O., but it works on great on the pavement also.
I'm changing it over to a Short Course dirt truck as
soon as I get a body and the bumpers set-up. I may
even make a cage for it too. It's a great car to build
and a lot better car than any GT2.

I also have the DM1 spec, and wanted to try the Centax clutch. A couple of drivers at the track tried it, and fried the clutch very quickly. These guys are sharp, and know what they are doing, so I was hesitant in trying the clutch in mine. They finally took the clutches back out, reinstalled the factory clutch with different springs, and one aluminum clutch shoe. I run a modified Evo 4 and a 2052 pipe, and my car is simply amazing. Even with the weight of the car, it will keep up with most 10th scale cars. Just not sure a Centax clutch will hold up to the weight of the car, but if someone comes out with one that will work, I would try it in a heartbeat..
