HELP!! I NEED a OFNA DM-1 KIT Where to buy??
 

Im looking for a 1/8 scale electric road car, and there doesn't seem to be anything around.. the DM-1 tekno conversion looks perfect, but I can't find it ANYWHERE >> HELP :)

are you looking for the car or the conversion kit?

Tower sells the DM-1...http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXVVS8&P=ML

Dammmmmm That is slick. I have always wanted an electric 1/7th scale dm-1... Not the spec, but the true 1/7 with the 4 wheel canteliver setup. Not sure what to run... I would want it to do 80 at least. Still need to convert my HB lightning street. Too many projects.

Ok, this chassis is for the spec... That sucks. Guess I will just make my own chassis...

Ofna is distributing the DM1-spec conversion. I think Nitrohouse has it. 1/8th onroad is quite fun!

Yup, that is where I found it, nitrohouse also has the spec kits for 330. So 140 for the chassis and 330 for the kit. Around 500 for a roller, but at least it is electric ready! With the 2 speed, clutch adapter and mech brakes one could run a really cheap setup, air esc and feigao motor, all on 4-5s and have a fun car for 650 out the door (maybe cheaper with some careful buys from HC).

I always enjoyed the ultra gtp, and the dm1, even the spec, should handle much better.

I've been looking at the DM-1 spec......x-mass is coming!

Nice, yes found the kit on nitrohouse, AWESOME!

Tower has the dm-1 for 329 -60 free ship though.. can't beat it

270 + conversion and I already have a MMM 2200 combo I can toss in it and a rx :)

Nice!

here is a vid of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89zoVYnD1Qs

Nice...but how does it handle in a plot racing set up is what I would like to know

Here you go - It got around pretty well considering that it was on a 1/10 sized track.

That has to be the best way to get into 1/8 brushless on road.

@stum did you ever get that dm-1 converted if so what battery did you use and what kv motor and how did it handle because I just bought a dm-1 spec and I just want to know what I'll be getting myself into once I convert it

I run a CC 2200 combo in mine and the really big issue is getting traction

Are you using the single speed or the 2speed and what battery are you using

I run the 2 speed and 2 3s 4900 flightpower batteries. My mmm threw in the towel doing speed runs so now i am running a MGM 28025 Z series

I was trying to find some more pinion gears for mine, probably a 22 tooth and and a 26 tooth that will screw right on the 2 speed and do you have the stock 16/20 tooth gears plus have you ever got it radared.

I dont use the stock gears. I have the two speed adapter from mike and gearing upto 26/30.
I havent had a chance to radar it yet still trying to find tires that will give me traction

Where could I find that 2speed adapter and those pinion gears that you mentioned cause I'm trying to gear up myself and I have the 1/8 dm-1 spec

Mike sells Them

Who Is mike and how could I contact this person... Thanks

RC MONSTER MIKE www.rc-monster.com in the gears section

Have you ever been able to use full throttle with the 26/30 gearing on 6s and if so did you have a hard time keeping it straight

Believe it or not i had a hard time getting traction. I even used foam tyres and it just drifts.

Do you mind posting a video of a couple of speed runs and a little bashing with your dm-1...... Thanks

sorry mate dont have video available. If you do a search on the forum someone else has converted one and has video up. You can also check out youtube.
Trust me this thing nitro is quick and loads of fun, brushless is just insane. Too much power, too much speed, and loads and loads of fun.
