what springs are you running?? also run dynamite max life shoes, im getting 8+ gallons out of mine. also do NOT run mugen clutch springs, they are junk, i have had 4 out of 4 sets break and they wont last threw all 3 quals.

I HAVE BEEN USING THE LOSI LONG WEAR SHOES WITH THIER SPINGS.i SHOULD HAVE STOCK IN THEM AFTER ALLL THE $ I HAVE SPENT WITH LOSI</p>

RE: CLUTCH EATER
 

What size springs are you using? If you're getting alot of heat, that usually means the shoes are slipping, which means they're not engaging, which means you probably need a thinner springs?

RE: CLUTCH EATER
 

when is the last time you replaced the springs??? if its been a while you need to replace those. i have done that before and didnt replace them and i fried a set of clutches because they were always engaged.

what do you guys think about the fioroni sliding clutches? thats my next step  I really like those clutches because i have one on my lst2 .Its not a fioroni , its a power up bidirectional(sliding) clutch and it works pretty nice.

RE: CLUTCH EATER
 

Fioroni clutches are supposed to last a very long time. I've never used them personally but one of the local guys raves about 'em and I've read the same thing elsewhere...

RE: CLUTCH EATER
 

i know a few guys that say they will use nothing but that clutch...

RE: CLUTCH EATER
 

seems like you could be overgeared. that could be causing the extra stress on your clutch

RE: CLUTCH EATER
 

CLUTCHBELL 12-15 AND MAIN GEAR 46 THINK SO.?

RE: CLUTCH EATER
 

i coudnt tell ya. you say you have a frankenstein drivetrain. i would keep it down around 12-13 on the clutch bell for a while just to make sure that new clutch dosnt get roasted.

RE: CLUTCH EATER
 

YES I HAVE PICS OF HER.THOSE ARE THE TWO I USE MOST(12-13) THANX

RE: CLUTCH EATER
 

Just got home from work and my new clutch is here!!!I will let ya know how it goes.http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...sn/biggrin.gif

RE: CLUTCH EATER
 

Make sure that your clutchbell is not shimmed too tight. Should be a bit of play.

RE: CLUTCH EATER
 

I got the clutch/new bell and bearings on and it  meets my bump box wheel nicely. All is good in NJ. wish it was a little earlier I would take her out.got work in the a.m.:(</p>

RE: CLUTCH EATER
 

Ran two tanks and the clutch grabbed very hard. So I say for all u truggy owners out there find the version that fits your truck.:D</p>
