24 bucks and change for a clutch bell, I now remember why I changed to ofnas flywheel/bell set up. But you cant beat those RB air filters, those are all I run even in my boys revo and buggies.
Did you get any extra glow plugs just incase you need one during break in? I always seem to over look those and make a trip to my lhs.

Yea kinda sucks and it was the reason i was goin with the 15t at first since it was cheaper.. oh well cant complain now. Will order the plugs with the pipe.

Well the list of things to get now is:
RB 2045 pipe
2 RB medium turbo plugs
1 RB cold turbo plug ( same as what the engine came with)
RB filter

maybe add on to the list before i finalize it but thats the main stuff im aiming to get.

Not to sure. I know if you run the ofna flywheel then youll need the ofna bell, or the kyosho flywheel set up the the kyosho bell. Reckward might be able to run any bell, not sure. Just make sure you have an extra set of shoes, most tracks or hobby shops dont carry those on hand but can order them.
I tried a mugen set up on the kyosho and it didnt work, the teeth on the bell didnt sit right with the spur, it was a bit off line. Only have the bells teeth hit the spur.
What ever make of bell you get go with the vented ones. They run cooler and save extra wear on the shoes and bearings.
Check Reckwards web site, see what the recomend running with their set up.

Yeah Nas, Reckward has there own bells 13 and 14T vented. Maybe I should get both, depending on setup needs at the track. the initial clutch comes with black carbon shoes, but I'm unsure of the size of the shoes. I'd rather have alumi shoes, but I can use the stock carbon shoes for break in then check them once I have a gallon in the mill. and keep the alumi's on the side just in case.

all reckward parts listed on amain just do a product search for Recward.

Let me know what size shoes I need with that speed 3 if you can. Thanks

TB

Just ran my ST-rr for the first time last night and it was pretty awesome. It is VERY different from any other truggy I have driven including my Hyper st pro and my friends 8ight-T. It seems of a looser car to drive but you can put in wherever you want to and make it either hold a line in turns or whip it around when you want to. One thing I love about it is that it has NO push at all when on the gas coming out of the turns. That is a problem my hyper has. I think even though how expensive this car is that it is well worth the money for how this thing drives and how smooth it is. I thought I was going to be disappointed with how much I paid for it and could not see how there could be a difference of that much but there is and I am not disappointed in the least!!

Awesome! I'm glad to hear that apparently your expectations were not only met, but exceeded.

What engine and radio are you running?
