signs of bad clutch shoes
What are the signs ?
I took my S maxx out today and noticed the wheels would not stop spinning regardless if adjusted the throttle trim or not; I checked everything else like the carb opening (1mm) and when I open the (carb) throttle and release the trigger seems to be working properly.
The clutch shoes have in between 3/4 and 1 gallon of fuel same with the engine

Broken clutch spring and/or shoe(s). Possible bad clutch bell bearings.

How long does it take before you have to replace the plastic clutch shoes (stock) that traxxas sells as far as gallons of fuel; and what is a good brand of clutch shoes(aluminum) that will last longer than the stock plastic ones?
