Clutch Questions - FreeRideFrosty - 03-01-2007
I was looking at going to 4 shoe clutch. M2C or UE?? Any major difference? Can I use the Clutch Bells that I already have (What CB should I be running indoor on the Werks Motor??) And what size bearings do they take?
Thanks guys. I want to make sure I have everything dialed so that the most I will need to do when I get home is break in the motor before racing.

Also.... for either company what shoes and springs should I be running??
Clutch Questions - chickenfarmer3 - 03-01-2007
i am gonna talk to M2C today and see what would work best for buggy/truggy/indoor/outdoor....and see what he says works best where, and i will let ya know.

Cool man, Thanks.

Somebody on here has to be able to help me out on this.... How many tooth CB should I be running at least if you don't know about the shoes/springs and UE Vs. M2C.....

go with hard shoes and .95's or 1.0's I talked to him yesterday and he said the UE was good but they put all the weight at the heal of the shoe where the pin is which in turn puts alot more stress in that area and the springs dont work right. So what he did is put the weight at the toe of the shoe etc etc I dont remember the rest of the stuff lol. u may have to go up to a 14th bell because the 4 shoe clutch will grab alot harder
Clutch Questions - FreeRideFrosty - 03-02-2007
Should I go with a light hard shoe to help it engage a little softer or just go with the regular hard shoe?
Clutch Questions - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 03-02-2007
a light shoe will engage harder. The lighter the shoe the longer it takes to engage, inertia dan!
Clutch Questions - FreeRideFrosty - 03-02-2007
Shut up, I was testing you. so go with the regular hard? And what will the difference in springs be?
Clutch Questions - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 03-02-2007
stiffer spring later engagment
Clutch Questions - FreeRideFrosty - 03-02-2007
If you were in my shoes what would you get? C'mon you should know these Werks motors. 4 shoe, regular hard shoes, what springs?
Clutch Questions - FreeRideFrosty - 03-02-2007
Is the M2C clutch really going to be twice as good as the UE?? (Because that's what it costs.) I may go with the UE just to save a few bucks after checking out the prices.... :-\
Clutch Questions - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 03-02-2007
yea it will be, just get it u cheap ass u had the money for another truggy u didnt need lol

Man just run a mugen 3 shoe with alum. and 1.0 springs. Dont fix what aint broke!!!!!!!!
Clutch Questions - Obsessive R/C - 03-02-2007
Don't cheap out on the clutch!!
Clutch Questions - MaxxGS - 03-02-2007
I agree with Rocco the Mugen 3 shoe is a great choice for the Werks engine, plus it's reliable. Also parts are available locally.
FYI, UE has 3 different types of clutch shoes with different weights. I run the UE 4 shoe with 3.0 aluminum shoes and the .9 springs on my RB28 in my Supermaxx and really like this combination.
On my V-Spec in my old GS Storm SUT CE which I ran all last season I used the Mugen aluminum 3 shoe. Same truck but with my EB Mod P5 I run the UE 4 shoe carbon shoes. Both have given me great results. These engines are now in my MBX5T.

so you got the MBX5T? i hope to be running in this class also this summer.
Clutch Questions - MaxxGS - 03-02-2007
Yes got the MBX5T in October but finished our club races with the GS since I had the GS dialed for our tracks. It was time to upgrade from the GS.
Clutch Questions - chickenfarmer3 - 03-02-2007
^^^ where do you race at?
Clutch Questions - MaxxGS - 03-02-2007
Kanaikid and I are members of the Dirt Dawgs RC club which is located in Elburn IL. The club is small approx 35 members and 4 years old but very competative. We have our own track which is privately owned by a club memeber.
Lately me and another guy have been racing at Newberrys in western IL. We will be down at Leisure Hours within the next couple of weeks. From reading on here it sounds like Leisure has been a hack fest and I'm not interested in racing like that.

cool, it has gotten a little rough at times.....but there is 12 truggys that are sharing 10' lanes....i little rough...and a little bit just blown outta proportion, all in all it is always a good time at LH.
Clutch Questions - kanai kid - 03-02-2007
i agree. when you have that many vehicles trying to get to the same spot you are going to have problems. i like that they have gone to the stop and go. seems to be quite fair too. always a good time at leisure hours. just wish it was a little closer.
