http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXUR89&P=7 get these cluch springs they hold well

RE: need help with car
 

i think i'm going to buy the teflon clutch shoes to replace the spring and the hpi clutch bell to replace everything in the whole shabang

RE: need help with car
 

what car have you got

RE: need help with car
 

its an exceed rc xtreme but all of the parts are compatiable with the redcat tornado

has anyone used the teflon clutch shoes hpi #A886: [link]http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXVK12&P=7[/link] and will they fit with the hpi bell for the 2 speed

i just took my car apart the clutch is not round squared on the edges

RE: need help with car
 

that clutch works but it gives a much higher stall rate so the clutch will not engage until higher rpm's but it does eliminate the spring. I switched back to the 4146x spring and stock shoes, just round the sharp edges with a file. the aluminum shoes work good with the hardened clutch bell.

RE: need help with car
 

ehroof if i do buy the teflon clutch should i set my gears to shift later because it enguages later

RE: need help with car
 

no because the gears will still have to shift at the same rpm's, the clutch bell wont engage until higher rpms.

RE: need help with car
 

thanx man one more question if i dont use it u use the traxxas spring with the stock clutch shoes

RE: need help with car
 

yes, 4146x spring with the stock redcat clutch shoes.
