I don't use them in my Nemesis but I am buying a set. I have used the Nova shoes in all my R/C's with great satisfaction. They last long and delivery power very well and they're fully adjustable. At that price it is well worth it.

Hi jigga2177,

Yes they hook hard, I highly recommend them with the gold 1.1 springs over the stock shoes..... I race tested a set of proto types on my Nemesis .46 for 2 months for Nova RC. We are now testing them in the Nemesis with a pico p3-28. (with 4 clutch shoes)

What's the gold 1.1 springs? Also, how does the aluminum shoes improve the truck?

Springs vary in tensions just like the shock springs. And aluminum clutch shoes grab hold better than that of the carbon or teflon shoes. The carbon and teflon have a tendency to slip under pressure often causing heat thus wearing of the shoes and bearings within the clutch. The aluminum ones reduce slippage thus reducing heat allowing everything a little more longevity. Too this will eliminate that black residue that you find around that area as well.

INTERESTING............

Two of the pins on my flywheel stick out farther then the other two. They stick out so far that they catch the clutch bell holes when it spins. I ordered a new clutch bell, clutch shoes, and flywheel from e-bay so it doesn't bother me that something is wrong with the one I have.

BUT!

There's locktight on the stock GS008 nut so I can't get it off.....DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO BREAK THIS BOND????

I'll probably order the aluminum clutch shoes but I wanted to run my truck next week, fortunately, it's raining so I don't feel back about it being in pieces. So what does this "grabbing" better do for the performance of the truck?

A better "grab" will result in more power being put to the gears from the engine with less slip from the clutch. In other words less slip more power and better throttle response, more slip less power and throttle response. I hope this helps you. The pegs on the fly wheel are only pressed in, you should be able to press the ones sticking out more back in, but if they have worked the way out once then chances are they will do it again. On the other hand it just may be an mfg. oversight and they weren't done right in the first place, they are made by humans and we do make mistakes. But that would be your call on how to handle that.

Just out of curiosity-and I know it's off topic, but I'd rather not start another thread-but can one use the stock CEN flywheel on an SG shaft "normal" big block (.21-32)?

a 4 shoe clutch looks like somethin my Savage could use.

i think that the .46 flywheel is larger than the savage, but dosent ofna or hotbodies make a 4 shoe clutch that works for the savage?

bash-m-up, that helps a bunch. that's what I thought but wanted to make sure. Thanks for your help. I think the pegs were always like this, but I could be wrong. Right now, they are out so far, the flywheel doesn't spin freely.

Nah, all 3 shoes.

For those of you that have the Nova Clutch shoes, can you tell me where this washer that comes with them fit in? I'm not sure where to put the washer on the flywheel. Also, how does the small screws help? I didn't get any instructions with the package, so I don't know exactly what to do with these.

Also, where can I find the springs? Only found 2 and 3 piece sets on Tower and Stormer Hobbies.
