@Spooky, I worded it wrong, I meant to say "I know another driver who is a Noob", didn't mean to imply you were a Noob, was trying to explain he was having a similar issue burning up Spurs from another brand of car independent from Team C. Oddly enough, I'm not aware of many others running nitro DM1's who are going through spurs too... perhaps it's an issue with the engine... is it possible to have an incompatible engine or clutch assembly???
