I figured since alot of people have been asking about the upgraded clutch bell and spring i would make a post just about that.

Hpi 2 speed clutch bell for tornado xp and other 2 speeds

hpi #83069: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&W=001135084&I=LXCLR2&P=K
hpi #76977: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&W=001135084&I=LXDHM0&P=K
hpi #76982: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&W=001135084&I=LXCLR9&P=K

Hpi single speed clutch bell for volcano stx and other single speeds

hpi #77107: http://www.clermontmotorsports.com/servlet/Detail?no=200 this is the vented racing clutch bell with bearings at a great price or http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLST9&P=7 (you can use more or less teeth, less teeth better acceleration, more teeth has more top end and faster)

clutch springs

traxxas #4146: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0095p?FVSEARCH=4146&FVPROFIL=++ (regular)
traxxas #4146x: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0095p?FVSEARCH=4146x&FVPROFIL=++&search3=Go (high stall, more rpm's before engaging the clutch)
Only use the springs with the traxxas setup the clutch shoes wont work

mpi #3072: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXUR89&P=7
cheaper alternative

This setup from hpi will eliminate the spring all together:
hpi #A886: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXVK12&P=7

Adjustable clutch shoes and spring
hpi #A885: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0095P?FVSEARCH=a885&FVPROFIL=++&search3=Go
volcano single speed spur gear: #8033

Hope this helps some of you's out, i have personally used the hpi cluch bells and the traxxas 4146x spring and i am very happy with them both, the cluch bells will eliminate your problems with stripping gears so i would suggest you do it.

Now that's a good idea, there has to be a way to make it sticky. Maybe someone could call readcat and ask them to make it sticky if they don't read this and do it. Oh ya by the way we ordered 10 of each of the clutch bells, there pretty cheap too.

redcat wont, mainly because it'd deter people from buying OEM replacements. If you went to HPI's forums and you saw they recommend some other company's replacement part, time to reconsider your next vehicle.

I disagree. Redcat wants there cars to improve. I will or should have the chance very soon to make it a sticky.

depends on what you bought for an exhaust system. You'd be surprised how much a pipe effects the performance of an engine.

it's basically the same as the redcat chrome one, only the one you bought costs more. as for the clutch bell and gears for the two speed you can get that whole set up in one bag all put together from Hobbytown USA for $13.00.

Well I was going to try and tell you the other day but someone kept jumpin on me every time I tried to post something helpfull and they kept telling you not to listen to me, because they claim they were trying to keep you from getting ripped off or something. Well anyway, if you do have a Hobbytown USA near you they are way cheaper Tower the Rip off Hobby.
