I color mine t make em look more realistiPMT rubbers come on a dish wheel with a PMT monogram on them.. they're ugly as heck.. but its a hell of a tyre.. I the offer spoke on 1/10 scale and 1/5 scale .. but for 1/8 scale rallye they discontinued it..
Im going to try sweeps as soon as they get the new rims in stock.. theyre pretty funky looking.

I want to use the orginal 2 speed gearbox and the discbrake.
Is there an conversion kit that works with that?
The Novak?

Other option would be to use front towers all around.
You can use the front buggy dampers at all four corners. However, You will need to use firmer spring rates for a road going car.. Which can be hard to come by.. So you might just want to get the Ofna DM-1 / Kyosho iGT shocks and springs.

I converted a TRF801 to GT. I designed my own shock towers with assistance of SNRScion.

Corvette: To Wing or not to Wing
I run on a pretty big split level parking lot, topping out around 60-63 on the front straight.. Im debating if i will be beneficial to use the win on my corvette
Looks cool with or without it but concerned about aerodynamic drag for top speed and/or losing the downforce that it gives for handling
Thoughts???

You want all the shocks to be the same size, preferably short shocks.

Lower Ride height and lower CG.
