Yes, been in touch, they are also working on a central battery layout like the kit chassis gives (and the reason to BUY the DI).

Things needed for my DI:

New chassis, slipper, upgraded diffs, upgraded shock towers, upgraded suspension arms.

There may be little of the original DI left when people are done upgrading it. But there is something strangely appealing about the car.

Just finnished assebling mine.

well....

Slipper is nearly ready for sale, to allow B4 parts.

Diffs - will be fine once the slipper is in use

Towers - Make your own like I did heehee

Suspension arms are fine

Chassis - only required if you can remove the suspension mounting from the rear gearbox.

i think that the suspension mounting rods need alu block .....on the front a carbon brace will be enough........on the rear i think that is possible to make a rear bumper with integrated suspension block (in alu of course...) and maybe a steel plate to inner rear to absorb the stress and save the gearbox .......

I was thinking more of using the TRF suspension blocks from the TC cars. This gives you the opportunity to play with rear inboard toe plus anti-squat, I would think some 'adjusting' of the rear gearbox would be needed but in the ned be far more benneficial.
