engine STILL burning clutch

[SixVi6-Camaro]

no.. you can use either stock or the UE ones. the UE diffs have a different gear ratio than stock. I went to the UE diffs simply because I scattered too many stock diffs but you can run stock diffs fine.

kool, i found out what mine prob was. it is so dumb on my part. u know the little bar that makes ur truck go from forward to reverse? ya well i havent got around to getting my forward only kit so i have a little wire holding it to the forward position. ya and the bar on it was like half way extended so my truck keep going from nuetral to forward and i thought it was my clutch shoes but it really wasn't.!!!

man, i wish that was my problem, i dont even have reverse!

 

[SuperMaxx97]

thats what i was trying to eliminate. but since i dont have the forward only converison i made one my self.

did u get the new clutch setup yet?

 

[paintballgod]

no, so far the 4-shoe is working alright, probably because i just got the 2-speed for it and its stuck in first gear and is overreving the engine. the lower the gears are the better it is on the clutch

 

[SuperMaxx97]

check ur tranny and make sure that ur gears are working right in it. u might have a fear or 2 that are broken into pieces. so u havent got the clutch to wrk yet?

bryan

 

[paintballgod]

no, i checked the gears and they are fine. i just got the 2-speed and its never worked. i have tried every adjustment possible, but nothing! i know its stuck in first though, its at top speed at half throtle

 

[SuperMaxx97]

thats wierd, what kind of a truck do u got again?

bryan

 

[paintballgod]

ok, i fed up with this wimpy clutch, so this is what I'm gettin, let me know if i picked the right stuff.

1. Strobe slipper
2.plastic 52 t ofna slipper spur
3.ofna 18t clutch bell
4.supermaxx clutch system

 

[SuperMaxx97]

it sounds like a winner. i was going to get the supermaxx clutch assembly also when mine goes out.

bryan

 

[paintballgod]

i have a sport maxx

 

[SuperMaxx97]

o, alright

bryan

 

[paintballgod]

hey supermaxx97, have you broken those wimpy cvd's that came with the .21 kit yet? i have snapped them twice so far, i probably should go ahead and get those supermaxx ones.

 

[SuperMaxx97]

ya, i HATE them!!! i have broke all of them atleast 5 times. i went and got some MIP ones for the back for now. but i left the front ones the xtm. the only thing bad with the supermaxx suspension is taht the xtm cvd's arent quite long enough to have the suspension how i want it. but o well. i will be getting supermaxx cvd's soon!!

bryan

 

[paintballgod]

well i ordered the 1/8 scale setup yesterday so i should get it in a day or two, hopefully this will the problem once and for all. back to my 2-speed problem, i was thinking. maybe the truck is shifting but i can't hear it shift.

 

[SuperMaxx97]

that is good. that should do the trick. for the shifting mine i can barley hear. does ur truck sound like it is reved up very high and does it go slow?

get a 3 shoe aluminum... you'll love it... with gold springs too...

 

[paintballgod]

no not really, but all the parts are working correctly so it must be the settings are off a bit

 

[supermaxx258]

ya check and make sure that all of the settings are correct cause if not that will mess with it.
