You need the IRS lower arms to be able to run low profile tyres : BMI-DB2010 (be sure to pre-tap these, otherwise they'll crack)
and the CRC pod plates in the back, red or even in Asso blue : CAL-4241
Think you also need the cf rear wheel spacers, otherwise your left rear tyre will rub against the underside of the pod. Also the cf front ride height spacers are very usefull : FIB-001 and FIB-002
I also used a L4 left wheel clamp (didn't like the bolt on system from the L3)
-> how do you put a 1S in a t-bar car ? Do you have a saddle pack ?
-> rear pod is not in balance with a brushless motor, but for a club night it will do (still got my L3, drive it from time to time, and I went back to brushed for that car -12X3- , even my LRP FatCobra 4cells are still very much alive
....)
-> L3 front suspension only has 0 and 10° caster blocks, most people use 5° (L4) -> we bought a CRC pro strut to solve this.
Found all mentioned above in the AMC shop.
...but if you like 12th scale, think you better don't spend much to upgrade, but better buy a new car. (we did,..eventualy :-) )
