Kyosho USA-1 Nitro Crusher

[Monkey Wrench]

Alright, now that you've had a good laugh after reading the title. just hear me out. I'm rebuilding an older USA-1 MT I've had for about six years. It was my second truck, first true build and I'm working on tricking it out as best I can. Since I don't have the necessary 100 posts to place a thread in the "For Sale" forum, I'm asking for any advice anyone can give.

The truck has the original GS-21 engine which is in good shape overall, except I need a clutch for it. The LHS keeps trying to sell me this thick, three-piece clutch that I just don't think will work. Are there any clutches for .21 engines that'll work on this one or am I going to have to buy a new engine outright? If that's the case, any suggestions on engines will be appreciated.

Thanks!

I once owned one.I thought any 1/8 scale clutch setup will work..Since it's based on the Burns 1/8 scale buggy..

That truck is True to the Roots, I have one myself. Pick up a Kanai clutch set-up for it.

go with a mugen three pin clutch or ofna three pin clutch, alum clutch shoes are awsome, they will really make a huge diff.
