Thats a nice Buggy you got there. They Fly really well.

 

[SachaFenestraz]

Awesome, man! Oh yeah...they can move for sure. I actually can't drive those to save my life (they are a little too aggressive for me) but my son can move one pretty good. ;-)

But the one word I think of pertaining to that buggy: DURABLE. It's odd because you rarely hear that about this buggy, but oh my it is as durable as anything I've ever seen. The only item I'd recommend you handle immediately is that clutch. I say that because right now it has 2-alum shoes (but you can easily add 2 more shoes). I made the mistake of waiting until a gallon to check ours --a gallon goes by fast when you consider break-in. See if you can tell which ones were the original in the pic below. ;-) By putting two additional ones on it, the wear rate is decreased dramatically.

I have this clutch in my tool box. Should I use it? I've been trying out different 3 shoe aluminums. Way better then the stock composite in some cases.

You have a Losi clutch...or a 4-shoe alum (or both?) ;-) I'm a big fan of the four-shoe clutch....but am finding they can be a bit too much for buggies. I run an a four-shoe alum in my Mugen. It's an M2C, however, which has a lot of tuning options so depending on the track I can still get that oh-so-beautiful linear smoothness that B6 provides. Ahhhhh....

My son runs a B5/2013 which seems to bite harder on bottom, so we're going to try 2 alum/2 nylon. He really likes his Losi clutch, and I'm cool with that because they are much easier to change out setups than M2C (in my experience at least). But I like M2C for the tuning options and I like alum much better in engines that don't have strong torque or heavier vehicles (truggies) that need that clamp to get out of a dig. BUT....you'll be lucky to get 1.5-2 gallons from a set of alum shoes, whereas I've yet to wear down any nylon ones. Probably more than you wanted to know, but basically test out everything you can. Ideally you're looking for progressive torque. Meaning you don't want to pop so much your wheels spin, but you don't want the vehicle to stumble either.
