Can a DF03RA do speedruns?

[KamikazeZero]

I have a almost stock DF03RA, and a 5200kv motor. Would it be possible to use this motor in my DF03RA for a speedrun? What upgrades do I need?

I'm running a 7700kv /3s in my Dark Impact.

If it's for just one run, my money would be that it would be fine as is,(presuming the balls diffs are setup right, and it's ballraced?)

If it's going to be sitting in there full time, I'd recommend a slipper (if you're upto it, the hardened main shaft gear mod too), and swapping out the rear outdrives for the single piece front ones. Ive replaced driveshafts, but only because I lot mine when the turnbuckles popped off in a crash.

It's ballraced and has TRF dampers. Currently, it's running a 13t brushed motor. I have a slipper in the front.

In the front? 

Used to stop the front end lifting, and also for protecting gears.

Are slippers a thing in the on road world? 🤔

I'm not so sure, since I am relatively new to this.
