We race two times a month me and my son run a class. So i replace those bearings twice a month and that 8 bearing a month. At $12 for 10 pack thats $1.20 each so about $9.60 for a month. I have never had a clutch bearing go out after doing it this way. If i went cermics it would cost $10 for 2 bearings. So money is the main thing. Also Answer-RC bearings are great.

Mike, I need to replace my 13 tooth bell on my Kyosho ST-RR. Is yours compatible so I can get one ordered ASAP with some back-up shoes? Thanks!

thanks Mike, sounds about right. I'm placing my order right now so I can get it ASAP. I'll let you know if for some reason it doesn't fit.

It takes a different motor mount to shift it forward in order to run anything else on the losi and probably not worth expense and effort. I would however recommend getting away from the two carbon two alum setup that is very popular. The Losi carbon shoes can really melt away quickly in some setups.

Got a question for you since you use the different springs together on your Losi. I use the RC8 shoes and since the shoes come with 3 different sets of springs what do you think would happen if I use one 0.9, one 1.0 and one 1.1 spring on a clutch setup? Just wondering because I have alot of 1.0 and 0.9 springs now that I do not normally use. I suppose I could just use all 3 1.0's once in a while to use them up but I am not sure of using the 0.9 as they may be too light of a spring for me. Just trying to save a $

Ive been running the Answer shoes, springs and CB bearings on my Xray 808 for 3 weeks now. Simply awesome. Low clutch wear, super bite and punch. Bearings have lasted longer than normal as well. Just clean and relube every 3-4 runs and still feel new each week. Great product and worth every penny!

3 Shoe on a Losi.
"Hey Mike - you can use all the 3 shoe stuff on the Losi no problem - just needs x 4 of the large shime behind the collet and use of the crank extender.
A lot of guys over here do it to avoid losi prices and if they have a stack load of 3 shoe clutch stuff.
You can then run either normal or losi bell just shim accordingly after the nut.

Which clutch and flywheel do I need? Better yet, what all do I need to change over to this 3 shoe clutch ?
I just got some clarification from Pete in the UK. Looks like guys over there are doing this with good success on the Losi.
