I have had fun playing around with the setup of my Tamiya DF-02 Rising Storm.

Current setup is

11 Turn Trinity Jet motor 16t Pinion and 70t Spur
2.2 ProLine Dirt Hawgs on HPI 5 point star rims all around
Aluminum Shock Towers front and rear
Aluminum oil filled Shocks
Early 30's Hot Rod body Either Ford or Chev...Who knows

There is an adapter available that I have to try and locate from Tobee that will allow me to use larger spur gears and non Tamiya pinions that will improve my gear ratio. I also want to reinforce the chassis to stand up to the beating that this vehicle now takes. I also have to clean up the old body a bit.

Comments...suggestions are welcomed!!
