KEEP BREAKING CLUTCH SPRING.
Hey guys, have a Revo with a OS .30 just installed and tuned alittle while ago. Awesome engine but anyway in the few times I had running I've broken the clutch spring 3 times.
Is there a more heavy duty clutch spring or set-up that could solve this problem??
Also I have a starter box so this engine would fit in the Revo, so I have to maintain a 40mm flywheel in order to start it.
Thanks

The truck rips! I am very glad I bought a wheelie bar because it hits it all the time, sounds awesome with a C-VEC pipe on it. The trans so far is working just fine, I've had to tighten the slipper clutch alittle more than before and I put in a Robinson x-hard clutch bell and spur gear. I put in alum clutch shoes but it's that damn spring that keeps breaking. To answer the question what clutch I am using, it's the stock Revo spring with alum. Revo clutch shoes.

RE: KEEP BREAKING CLUTCH SPRING.
Is the spring rubbing on the inside of the clutchbell? If it is, you should see a groove down the middle of the inside of the bell. If so, either you have a hupm or debris in the groove of one of those shoes, or else they are just worn down. An engine shouldnt be able to break the clutch spring if everything is properly installed.

I have heard that New Era has a 1/8 scale 40mm flywheel witha 3 clutch shoe set up for Revo. I don't know what web site to go to for New Era products though.

RE: KEEP BREAKING CLUTCH SPRING.
My MIP clutch spring broke this weekend. ON an OS 18TM. 2 Second spring in about 2 gallons. They just seem to stretch out quite a bit. I swear I had less trouble with the stock clutch. That one made it 4 gallons. 3 of which were on the same OS18TM.
