Default @Nyc/NJ people.

This post is geared to New York City/New Jersey drivers, I'm looking for a hobby shop that might carry this item so I can go and pick it up. I'm not up for waiting for it to be mailed to me I'd rather go and get it myself.

The truck was taken apart and my engine mount plate had a slight crack, tvp was warped both were replaced I still go through spurs. So I figure enough is enough and it's time for a change.

u need to replace the x tvp i guess ..from what ive been reading in the forums theyre not that good ..and an unnoticeable bent will give u bad meshing..try putting flm chassis...it looks more tougher and it is lcg..

I have the same problem but only when using my WASP 26 engine. 3 SG srtips!! At $5 buck a pop, I went with a GH alloy/steel 49T SG and Racers Edge 18T vented CB.

The strange thing is when I drop in a different motor, the plastic spur doesn't strip at all using stocj CB. The other motor I have are XTM 24.7 and XTM 24.7 Pro.

I changed gears over this past weekend. Had an outing Sunday and push my truck hard as I can expecting the vented CB to strip but everything held nice and tight.

I gonna try switch to a stock cb to see it it will strip with the steel sg. Just curious... I have alot of stock cb's. Ventedcb are not cheap as the stock one..

I forgot to mention my clutch system is the XTM Slider type using carbon shoes. I had the 3 shoe alloy shoes before that it it does the same thing.

The best guess I can think of is my Wasp 26 motor reaches the higher prm range so fast it just heats up the cb no matter what clutch system I use. [:@]

It wont grab hard enough. I do have a set of Werks 4 shoe clutch I like to try. However, that uses carbon shoes as well. I have mey doublts but we'll see.[X(]
