Default 8ight clutch

I know losi has been known to have clutch problems, but does the pro kit of the 8ight have problems with the clutch and does it have any problems with the diff.

diffs are fine.

I had about of gallon on my clutch and it was fine. if you have problems get kingheadz shoes from a main ($20 for a set of 4) and your good to go for a long time.

The team losi clutch bearings are the culprit. I don't use them anymore because they were inconsistant. I use crc bearings now.

Seized to the conrod? I think you mean crankshaft.

www.carolinasrc.com sells bearings in sets of 10 or you can buy ceramic bearings for $5 apiece. www.avidrc.com also makes good bearings which can be had for $1 apiece and $5 apiece for ceramic.

Nik.

On the kingheadz shoes what springs did you end up running. I have a RB C5 motor if that makes a diff.
