Dont start Turbo!

The DFR Kit is a good kit, so is the FST, and obviously Magnum is bad ass. You can also consider Long Travel Industries if you want a boxed kit as I believe he makes one. Like Blue said, HRT has a decent rhino kit as well.

OK tell me if I am miss informed .... pismo wet sand 3 to 4 in of dry on top makes for a Violante tureen and a box arm would do best????I don't want to start a all out war I truly want to make the right chose on this ...

I have been racing with the dfr kit for 2 seasons and this kit works awesome.I have had other kits but they didnt turn as well as the dragonfire kit.I also have had a couple of hard roll overs and and have bent everything but the arms. They also weighed 8 lbs less than my tube a arms.My 2 cents.

if you are looking for a bomb proof kit you have to have a beefed up frame especially at the pivot points. also you want to spend the time valving your shocks for your style of driving. not one single kit out there will be setup for what you want to do with it.

best thing is to buy a kit with a dealer or manufacturer that is close to you and knows his kit. spend the time and money to properly spring and valve your shocks.

you might want to look into hydrolic bumpstops for the hard landings.


other boxed kits to consider would be Mafia and Throphy Engineering. i dont completely believe a round tube kit is not as strong as some boxed kits though. i have crashed my LSR kit 8 times or so and have pulled the tabs off my frame without damage to my arms.

in my opinion shock tunning is the most important thing you can do for any LT kit.
