stiffer springs would give u a higher stall clutch. I dont think you had a slippage problem, u had a maintinence problem, no doubt that clutch was hanging up and prolly making ur engine run hot and lean bog

Well, i replaced them now, but there isn't anything left of the shoe material really. The groove where the spring sits is gone.

I had originally deburred them when I had them off about 1 month ago, I really only run the car about 4 times a month. See's maybe 10 to 14 tanks a month at most. I really don't run it all that much.

Man, its friday already. So, who's showing up besides the regulars.

Sadly, only the buggy will live this week. I am holding off on ordering the CNC parts for the CRT, and the new LSPR is on the back burner for now while I put together the things it needs. Str. and thr/brk servo's, spektrum rx. For the engine I need to pickup a clutch, I have everything else.

Man, that curb got me again! Snapped the shock shaft in two, yet somehow the shock shaft is still straight as an arrow. Guess It just goes with the cold weather, the metal is less flexible.

Oh well.....easy fix! Wanted to rebuild the shocks anyways.

If any of you guys are still bashing, I still have the backflip ramp that Chris and Bill made a while back for one of the Berwyn bashes. Because of work I don't have much time to play with it so if any of you guys have room for it and want it it is yours. Unless Bill or Chris want it back.

How big is it? I don't have a pickup, or a truck, just lil' ol Kia Sephia. If its not too big and no-one else needs I might be game to pick it up if I can find a way to fit it in the kia.

Well then, i guess we'll have to hope someone else has a slightly smaller ramp.

I would say my car is a tad too small for that ramp then.

Just a little bit. I'm gonna see if Bill or Chris want it back and if they don't I'll put it up in the for sale section as a give away.

Squirrel,
If it is still up for grabs we will take it. But I have to wait to pick it up.
The guy that is willing to pick it up said he will be availible 2 Saturdays from today.Because of his work schedule.
He is one of our regulars at my bash.
If all is good i will need a address to come pick it up.
Shoot me a PM
He has a big Chevy pick up truck .So it will fit.
LMK.
Savyboy
