Mugen clutch - 08-14-2007, 06:10 PM

What are the good clutch shoes people are using now? I just took the clutch apart to clean everything and these shoes look like their 10 gallons old already. I deburred them and they look new again but im sure there gonna wear out soon since i already have at least 2 gallons throuh the truck. Thanks, Nick.

well nick...

I personally would stick to the stock shoes... I have had great sucess with them, so i personally feel there isnt a reason to change.

Not sure what springs you were running( prolly stock 1.0's) which is perfectly fine. Just try and do matinance on them a little more often and you will get 2 to 3 gallons easy from them.

If I remember right you wanted to break it in on the street and if your like me you pulled a few hole shots when race tuning. No good for your clutch. Those big tires have a harder time breaking loose on the pavement and the clutch takes the abuse. But two gallons isn't that bad anyway. If you want a clutch recommendation, Ive been using the turbo slider forever in the truck and got one for the buggy. Id call it the lazy mans clutch cause I forget its even a maintenance item. Ive never replaced the shoes yet so I cant say how long the ll last.

Make sure you start with a new clutch bell also. Don't run carbon shoes after aluminum.

Hey, just wondering hoe often you change the flywheel or do you change the pins. Just wondering cause mine were galled where the spring sits after a few month's. Oh wait, by then your probably replacing the whole kit.lol

The Slider clutch reminds me of the same principal as the clutch a go-kart uses...


LSP lots of Khz, Werks .28 8 port.

I put the slider in the truggy before we went outside this summer and clutch shoes still look pretty good. Ive had a spring break around the 2 gallon mark.
Engagement is pretty good, I think the aluminum hits a little harder but these make the truck easier to drive. Still no problem clearing obstacles indoor.
