quick question
after i install the clutch spring from traxxas 4146x, and using stock clutchbell. the tsunami is very hard to move, seems like very hard to engage. give it almost full throttle, but it only runs like give a little bit throttle. is the spring too hard to engage? or do i have to change clutchbell to hpi 3 piece too? or i can just use stock steel one. something else wrong with my tsunami

RE: quick question
Sounds like it may be slipping, After you run it at full throttle, if you have one use a digital temp gauge to check if it's overly hot, if you don't, then spit test it. if it is, then check the inside of the bell and see if it's wore down a bit. also, is the bell a somewhat snug fit? I mean it should have some play, but very little.

sounds to me like your gears are meshed too tightly if i understand what your saying, there should be a little bit of play between the clutch bell and the spur gears.

RE: quick question
