Default muggys clutch

ive smoked two clutches now in my muggy[:@], both only getting about 3 runs in between clutch shoes. They weren't the stock shoes the second time, they were long wear aluminum ones but didnt hold up any better than the stock ones. If anyone knows of a good clutch setup that would eliminate this problem please tell me. thanks. Zach

Dynamite aluminum shoes and 1 plastic shoe, 13t or 12t vented clutch bell, smaller 1/8 truggy wheels, ceramic clutch bearings....i've had to do all that to keep my Muggy from smoking clutches

if you put a plastic shoe in it, the 2 aluminum ones rough up the bell and the plastic smooths it out again, just a tip i learned from a local pro who drives an 8ight
