What was the problem when the car starts off the ground but it dont on the ground? I read it somewhere but forgot. Hopefully it wont be clutch spring cause i spend lil bit more than half gallon with the car.

clutch spring, replace with traxxas 4146x

idk what your saying. please type like you talk.

I know it is a dumb question but u dont have to replace that forever? how is the fitment?

sti-06

can some also post the link for the 13/18 clutch bell install? Since i am going to take apart everything i want to install the 13/18 clutch bell ( I already have clutch bell, needle and bushings) also.

those mip springs are not tight enough and the car wants to move foreward unless at a very low idle, almost stalling idle. the 4146x is a tighter spring and doesnt want to launch foreward.

ehroof

it goes, washer, bushing, bearing, bushing, tension pin to extend past the clutch bell, then big washer, smaller washer, locknut and screw

sti-06

size of the tension pin? From home depot right? Other than tension pin do i need anything else to buy?

ehroof

5/16 by 1" is big enough, you may need a bigger screw for the clutch bell, like a 1/4" larger

sti-06

damn it is pain in the a*s to to install isnt it? I might leave is for later

ehroof

home depot has the tension pin and they may have the longer screw, if not you local hobby store will. its not that hard, i had it cut and put together in a few minutes, i cut the pin with my dremel.

sti-06

ohh u had to cut the pin?

ehroof

yes they come 1" or 3/4", you only need like 1/4", i got the 1 inch so there was more to hold on to and a little extra in case you make a mistake, it comes with 2 pins in a package, they only cost like a $1 the most. its easy to do.

sti-06

Yeah it sounds easy but 17/22 was really easy for me, plug and play. But this one alot of stuff going on. Hopefully i wont mess it up.

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...85&FVPROFIL=++ you think this one is worth it? Any benefit?

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...86&FVPROFIL=++ any down sides other than high stall?

ehroof

the more expensive one is better, the springless one has to high of a stall rate and i am not too crazy about it, it does work though.

i like the high stall it launches harder......you cant really tell all that much i have it on mybuggy

I bought the racing clutch. Hopefully it will worth it, which i doubt.

ehroof

the racing clutch will make you happy and it will last you a long time without any maintaince

sti-06

is there any other pros for racing clutch other than long life?

ehroof

adjustable stall rate, 3 different settings

I have the racing clutch for my buggy and I absolutely love it. You will be very happy with it I guarantee. I have put a least 15 tanks in it, hardly to no wear on it at all.

Should get the HPI A886, it's what I have and has two sets of the spring/tension clips.

Gold = high stall rate
Black = standard stall rate

The HPI A885 is a good set too (but still has a wrap around spring) adjustable stall rate by cutting the clutch shoes.
