I was browsing around on Amazon this morning and came across this SkyRC GPS Speed Meter.  Then, it hit me...convert my TR-SC10e into a speed run vehicle!  It's been a while since I've updated my Project SC10e and I've always day dreamed of doing a speed run vehicle so I suppose now is as good of a time as any.

This is where you come in...other than just ripping around on the street in front of my house, I've never really done a speed run specific project so I need your help....please post a comment below with your tips and ideas on how to make my TR-SC10e FAST!!!

My truck is currently set up for off road racing (here's the current state of my truck) so I'll have to make some changes.

I just ordered the SkyRC GPS from Amazon but I'm not sure what my next steps will be.  Here's what I'm thinking:

• Lower the suspension
• Re-install the sway bars for stability
• Tires/Wheels - possibly get some slick tires for the stock wheels or get some 1/8 scale slicks and use the 17mm hub adapters
• Electronics - possibly remove the expensive ProTeck 170 and re-install a light weight and cheaper Savox or HexFly servo
• Gearing - Install larger pinion gears, I don't think I'll be able to find smaller spur gears
• Body - Possibly install a 1/8 GT body or a ProLine Flowtec short course body
• Battery - Possibly go to 3 cell or even 4 cell

Once again, I need your thoughts and advice so please leave a comment below...
