New Clutch?

[Rolex]

I need a recommendation from you Savvy owners. While I have everything apart to put in the 3 speed kit, which clutch and CB would you recommend for an upgrade?

Doesn't HPI make an aluminum three-shoe clutch for the Savage?

 

[Rolex]

Yes they do but I'm looking for opinions from guys who have used them, or other clutches. Also which brand of CB they recommend. I know I have to go with a hardened CB with aluminum shoes.

If this is any help...i got those... http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGGV4&P=ML
As for the clutch shoes, i still got the stock shoes from my ''X'' and work good for me.
but i am planning to go with those before the end of summer, http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXKSC7&P=ML

What does it matter in a shelf queen? =devil

Seriously, I can't help you out any, mine's still stock, haven't seen a need to upgrade yet.

Right now I am running Ofna aluminum shoes and the Ofna 17 tooth hardened bell. If you have the steel spur gear it will eat a normal bell for lunch. It is lightly vented for heat and dust. Work great.

Well, I guess I'll stay with the stockers till they need replacement. I was thinking I'd need a much better clutch due to the weight, but the 3 speed trans should help.

LMAO, Racer 1966. I couldn't believe it when I saw 3-shoe aluminum clutch kits in assorted anodized colors! I just don't know why that would even be available unless someone has come out with a clear glass C bell.

you could see them with the vented bell.

Could be useing hard anodizing for better wear resistance and longer life. Not sure if that comes in a color selection or not though?

 

[Rolex]

Both good answers. I guess it makes sense, now.

I've always liked the stock teflon shoes. I have run them in everything I owned at one point or another. My revo (after modding the chassis to move the trans forward for 1/8 clutch), my mammoth, my maxx (21 conversion), my savage and now my aftershock with an LRP 28 S3 in it. They have been holding up great.
