Just took my 2nd chassis out to check it, and it sure does seem to flex a lot with the plastic braces.. Thinking maybe this is my problem.. I assume only the 1/7 RTR DM-1 in the US had the plastic chassis braces, right, and the 1/7 that most people had was the Pro, with alu.. Which would explain why I've never heard about chassis flex issues with this car - IF in fact I'm right and this is my problem.. Maybe all these folks tripling up on their CB bearings could also make life easier on themselves if they had alu chassis braces too...
While we're at it, should I also maybe consider an alu quick-change motor mount - maybe the Kingz Heads extended?.. Do they fit %100?
EDIT - that looks stupid. The KH mounts are separate for Picco engines... I have various engines I want to be able to run, including a Picco P7 Evo 3....

The bearing issue in my point of view has nothing to do with the braces. Many of my fellow GT racers here have tried to fix that problem with the Al braces thinking that chassis flex has something to do with it but they still had problems until they went with multiple bearings.

Awesome, thanks. Looks like I will be ordering more real soon, we sold 7 overnight! I think that is a record for bodies for us. Still got a few left. Can't wait to get the R4's in now.

Found somebody selling the CRT Z-brace along with the chassis braces. Is it worth getting for the dm-1? Does it evem fit?

Thanks Bill, much appreciated. The last pic was the first night i raced it. And i was more worried about the body, then i was about the race.

Again, to increase chassis stiffness, I'm getting the alu CRT chassis braces. Does the Z-brace fit the DM-1, and if so, should I get it? Thanks.
