I am also new to R/C drag racing. I have been looking at several Nitro cars and I have noticed that they have two speed spur gears. For the clutch bell do you have to buy one from the company that makes the kit or do they use an "aftermarket" one?

Thanks

Conan4480 Go to Litespeed raceway Saturday and those guys can answer all your questions. Bobby may even have the parts you need.
