Default Can I convert a dm1 1/7 to 1/8th scale

Is it a easy project to convert over? What do I need?

I think this is what would be needed.
Chassis for 1/8th scale
two chassis braces? Not for sure but would assume different lengths.
Front & Rear drive shaft from two speed - assuming both (one might be the same)

the best site to compare the different stock parts would be IGT hobbies
www.IGTHobbies.com

they are the best source for GT8 cars

Thumbs up

It is a easy conversion.. All you need is the DM1 1/8 chassis and the shorter drive shafts and chassis braces.. Everything else from the 1/7 car will go rite on.. I have done this to my wife's car that was once my car
