Link below for clutches. The MIP is good if your not wanting to spend much, if money isn't a issue check out the offerings M2C has.

RE: Best clutch for revo 3.3
yeah I am interested to hear in what the masses use.
Olsenn3385 you like salad minus bacon bits, LoL
Has anyone else had any problems with the stock clutch. From the looks of Olsen's clutch they are not very high quality.

I think most people are starting to run the M2C clutches now, I am running the MIP if it ever fails I will switching to the 3 shoe M2C.

RE: Best clutch for revo 3.3
I think i am going to try the M2C clutch. Stock one def. didn't hold up for me. And yes fellers I love love salad with no bacon bits haha queer. When i took clutch bell off the clutch fell out in pieces. thought it was kinda funny but dont want that happening again. Hope it didn't cause anymore problems. Anything else I should check before i put new clutch on and run it, besides the spur gear?

the stock clutch shoes are absolutley junk. They last about a gallon then they are toast. Usually the clutchbell bearings will go too. Get an extra couple bearings I promise you will be needing them. I have yet to try any other clutch shoes. So let us know how you make out.

My stock clutch is on about it's 10th gallon, and doing fine. I looked into replacing it when I bought my new engine, but we couldn't find any reason to.

RE: Best clutch for revo 3.3
When I reversed my clutch shoes on my revo, it made a huge difference in clutch life. I really did not understand the whole concept until I put a bb in my revo and saw the huge difference in reversing the shoes on the flywheel. The big block just put too much stress on the shoes in stock direction, after reversing them it was night and day. On my jato I would burn out clutch bearings left and right, so I decided to do the same thing with the shoes on the jato, the bearings just last and last now. After I finially burned out the shoes in my revo with the bb, I went the savage 3 shoe clutch set up, and it can handle pretty much the tallest gearing I can through at it without a problem. I have never tried the M2C clutch, so I cannot comment on that, but reversing the shoes on the stock set up helped me a ton with the 3.3's power and lower gearing on the bb engines.

I also had problems with clutch shoes then I turned them around and they work great that way they grab harder disengage better and are easier on shoes go figure.

come to think of it, my clutchbell bearings went at about the same time as my clutch. (prob about a gallon of fuel through the motor)

That is really hard to beleive. I hsve gone through like 5 or 6 in 5 gallons and have seen many go out and take the bearings with them in under a couple gallons.
