I would recommend a full carbon fiber kit from Max Velocity racing it will Lighten the car significantly it will also stand the steering and throttle servos up which help eliminate extra moving parts that could fail and take some of the risk of side impact away.Its will also stand the front shocks up this will give you more tuning options. A aluminum front lower pin holder will be good also. If the DM1 take a hit on the front wheels the lower pin holder breaks sometimes.

If you have the brakes solved, you need to get an aluminum holder for the lower front arms. Might also get the upper rear bracket, the one close to the exhaust header, as it does heat up the plastic. These can be found from Max Velocity, King Headz, YBSlow (see IGT Hobbies as he normally has all in stock). You might also look at the Max Velocity front and rear shock mount, King Headz chassis and Max Velocity stand up servo mount.
BUT this class should be fun, so all you really need is the first item. All the rest as you want or need.

Easy on the "loop holes" 
Most spec. rules are in place to save folks money.
Sometimes they fail because when you "spec out"
peeps tend to seek out the best motors,packs,parts,ect....
I took on this class thinking it was a cheap way to use up
my old buggy stuff.It's starting to turn into a $$ class.
High dollar tires,parts,engines is not the way to take it.
