Default Which clutch to buy

I have a mbx7 nitro buggy with a novarossi engine yet to be determined lol. I'm looking for which clutch to run the novarossi or werks? Any input would be much appreciated.

Why not run the clutch that is included in the kit???

I guess you want to spend extra money on unneeded stuff.

Stock clutch is far from being junk, actually it's a very good clutch..

That being said i am impressed with this clutch from reds..http://www.reds-racing-usa.com/reds-...-clutch-system

The clutchshoe and the clutch springs is whats making the clutch, not the flywheel and not the clutchbell (beside a possible faster wear).

It's not junk but I don't like it. I like the losi clutch and the reds clutch looks just like the novarossi clutch which is good and a lil cheaper price point.

I have ran the m2c adj clutch 4 shoe system on every vehicle I have owned with great results.
Many like the BUKU once you get it dialed in.

In the onroad there are a lot of drivers in the search of a good clutch, they even buy the most expensive one from different brands because that one works. It is not the total clutch but as mentioned the shoe and the spring and some expertise how to build the clutch. It takes some time and different shoes and springs with maybe some modifications to get it right but if you know what to use and how to build it is easy to make the/any standard clutch to something you want.

DUDE. Be a little more specific and you wont get such a open ended answer.

"I got a car and have a question.... Can you help me?"

Douchebag1

If you got that much money to spend, buy 1 of each and figure out which one you like. Easy.

Instead of getting something "cool", why don't you get something that "works"

Done with this guy.

The m2c clutch is an excellent choice for the Mugen.
