Holy $hit on a stick, what a difference! The three parts alone changed the handling of the car. I now have way less body roll and more precise and controlled steering. If anyone is contemplating these mods, do it!

I saw some pics of Marcus's car with custom rear diffuser so I DIY'd my own rear splitter with a Traxxas X01 rear diffuser and some custom turnbuckles with carbon shafts to dress it up. Definitely finishes the look since I have X01 front splitters (thanks for the idea JStall!) and front aluminum splitter. Front and rear splitters also hold down the body shell nicely with zero wobble.

Still have to install Jato links and tackle the wheel wobble/play issue.

SNR Carbon Chassis and FR&RR Carbon Towers have been ordered! Can't wait!

Does anyone know if there is an upgrade aluminum screw kit for the GT-V2e? Someone should come out with one (hint hint Marcus )

Dang! Those mods look really nice! Car looks like its ready to rock! Great job!
