ya i stopped racing because theres WAAY to much things to watch out for, Diff fluid, clutches, shock oil, ride height, etc.

faster, but not fast. I would think the shoes will be good for 1 1/2-2 gallons. I cant comment on your bell as I have no clue what it is. You do know all about clutch shoe maintenance right??

You need to take off the bell and de-burr the shoes, meaning you will grind off all the aluminum that has flattened and melted.

Take a dremmel with sanding drum or a file to remove all of the excess aluminim that forms on the outside of the shoes. This only applies to aluminum shoes as carbon shoes don't do this.

Sounds kinda like you might want to consider just running the Ofna 10010 and 10100 springs/shoes.

They won't hit hard, but they last virtually forever under normal conditions.

But, if you want something more aggressive go with any of the aluminums.

I've heard good things about the Answer shoes as well, but in my truggy I'm getting awesome life out of the red Jammin' shoes as well.

with carbon you need to sand off the glaze that forms inside your clutch bell, so one way or another your sanding something
