Plus1 on that, I have used the Dynamite long wear shoes in a T-maxx that was notorius for hurting cluth shoes. The truck weighed 10 plus pounds with a clutch half the size of 1/8 clutches.

Gentlemen,
Max Velocity Racing has the new ALUMINUM REAR UPPER PIN HOLDER for the OFNA DM-1 Spec. This part frequently melts due to its close proximity to the exhaust manifold. Not anymore. Parts are available and ready to ship. Check them out at www.maxvelocityracing.com
Cheers
Paul

Are the caster clips really needed on the rear? Looks like we would have even more room by eliminating the step to accomodate the caster clips. Just a thought.

My normal process with my nitro cars is to take them fully apart clean, install new bearings and re-build so they are ready to run next season. Just did this on my DM1 and found a few items and was wondering if anyone else has found these items:
Outer clutch bearing gone
Front upper arm loose on hinge pin (wonder if these should be 4mm seem small)
Play in the front steering knuckle, even with ball studs tight
Both drive shaft mount's were loose(set screw backed out)
Lower rear arm loose on hinge pin (same as upper front)
Anything else anyone else find on a regular basis??

That sounds like normal wear and tear for a race car (the CB bearings are tiny on the DM1, I would expect failures in that part).

i use Avid bearings thru out the whole car...they seem to be flawless but i agree seem like normal wear& tear...after a day of race the next day i do a full tear to clean & inspect everything also make sure all screw tight not strip but other than that i love this car we had a great spring summer season
