So the stock clutch bell will do what you want.
I hate the stock CB. One, it's too expensive. Two, it's not available in Europe(and most annoyingly, I can never find an online shop, even in the States, that a.) has the CB in stock, but b.) also has the pinions I need, and c.) has realistic shipping prices...) And three - after paying a lot and waiting a long time for some oversees order, it'll go about half a gallon, then when I want to change the three front little baby bearings, one of them always doesn't want to come out. Result - ruined CB. I wish I could run a carbon clutch, but the two kinds of carbon clutches I have do not line up with the Ofna extension up front.. It is IMO a thoroughly stupid design, having that dumbaxx bearing size up front. I've had lots and currently have way too many RC's, so I know how to shim a clutch and mesh gears. I never get more than half a gallon on the front three bearings(at least so that I feel comfortable with them..), and it's a total crapshoot if I'll be able to get them out.
I would like my DM-1 a whole lot more if I had a solution for the CB. The rest of the car is great.
