i hate to disagree....but its not......the flywheel gets Gouged by the springs quickly making the shoes stick quite often...and there's no fix for it....well maby there is....but i dunno.....ive gona through 3 flywheels in the last couple months.....im moving on to the M2C version and go from there....as the springs actually LAY down on the flywheel as appose to Stabbing it....Most of u losi guys will know what im talkin about.....and also i found the pins to wear alot faster then a standard FLywheel post would...so i fould myself buying sets of those pins almost Every clutch rebuild...M2c here i come.

With the m2c clutch setup can you run normal clutchbells also do you have to flip your motor mounts?

When the springs begin to stab into the flywheel just take a small file to it and file the area a little bit to make the surface smooth and "semi flat". As for the pins I do not know... I have never noticed much wear on mine. Hopefully this helps you.... or you can try the m2c... good luck either way
my BRAND NEW flywheel that only has about 3-4 bg races on it is Already Pooched from the springs....and as for my older flywheel...well....i polished the scars out...but they were Right back within a matter of tanks.....im 100% switching to the M2C set-up and the springs Lie on the flywheel and not stab into it like the losi......and Check ur pins...i guarenteed they are worn...especially since u havent replaced en...look at them on the level...ull see what i mean.

I'm not sure which mount is is but there is one out there that allows this. Be careful though, it does not provide a solution for the decrease of clearance between the carb and the center diff mount, which is already very close.

david, yes losi makes a mount that allows for movement front to back....

I installed Dynamite extened life aluminum clutch shoes on my 8-t and opened up the clutch after 3/4 to 7/8 of a gallon. To my surprise they are toast. When I mic'd them they were at 21.07 mm. I read that below 23mm it's time to replace them, and they looked worn no noticable driving problems.
Does it sound like normal wear, or should I get more than 3/4 - 7/8 of a gallon out of these shoes?

Same thing for me. Three sets of Max-lifes on three different vehicles. All toasted after the second weekend. Mine measured between 22.9 and 23.3 I'll stick with the 7075 KH which I can at least dress up and use again. I usually go 2 gallons minimum with the KH shoes and maintenance.
