i have a muti with a .32 and i keep on having a prob with my clutch shoes waring out way to quick.i ve tried the stock ofna,losi alluminum and mugens but no luck.i know its a heavy truck. not sure if it becouse i went up to a 18 tooth bell from the stock 13.i use it for off road. maybe some one has had the same prob.[&o]

uhh... the 18t cb is the prob. your burning the clutch the whole time its running!
try a 14t if 13 wasnt tall enough.

You could try a different clutch...I've got the Werks 4-shoe clutch and I like it...Or you could buy a Fioroni slider clutch, heard they last forever.

LOL didn't you already post a thread on this issue? or was there someone else with a multilator running the 18T bell. You need to run between 13-16T. Actually 13-15T is alot safer on the clutch. Doesn't it seem pretty slow?!!

what actualy clutch shoes have u ran ? there are specific shoes that are significantly better then others.....like Ofna Purple's and Ofna Blue's SUCK because there 6061...but if u get the Onfa Silver's which are 7075...they should last a decent amount of time.....BUT a 18t is WAY tOO much load on the clutch....im suprised it even let u bolt up a 18t..the motor slots much be half the chasssy.

I gave up trying to get the right clutch 4 gallons ago.

Its been the same since I got my truck.

The damn engine blew yesterday.

So yeah.

Need any spare parts for yours, pm me...

im on my 3rd. ofna has been nice enough to replace them all. the prob is that when the shoe gets too worn the motor revs up way too much.and kaboom............

What kind of shoes are they tho ? stock plastics ? color'd alluminum ?

trugman

what if i put the 13tooth back on and just go down on the spur teeth?think that might work. It just gets down to ,i need more top end from that .32. it has way too much touq.

trugman

white allu. and stock plast.

INTEGRA

white allum ? huh ? like silver ? Ofna Silver's are 7075 and should stand up pretty good...but not with a 18t bell on...thats OVER the top imo...doesent it Bog like crazy off the line ?...that should be a sign that something isnt right..and the reason to u going though shoes' after shoes....so ya going back to the 13t would work wonder's.....but the .32 motor u have is severly inadequate for the application.....U need RPM in a truggy....not torq....so if anything i would look into a differnt motor that will be more suited to the truck...and for the clutch issue....run standard gearings...most truggy's run from 13or 15...Maby 1 up or down...but not much more....all ur gonna do it fry out the clutch when u overgear it.
