Recommendations for Clutch
I am looking at getting a new clutch for both my Werks .21 engine for my buggy and a Lutz Edition .21 for my truggy and was wondering what people would recommend for an excellent quality of clutch for either or both of these engines. Any help would be awesome!

Most clutches on the market will serve you well but the M2C stands out due to it having all replaceable parts most clutches when the pins wear you have to purchase a new clutch. M2c replace the posts and you are off again.
That's one of reason why I changed to them.

The Ascendancy 4 shoe is good, still on the same shoes (2x carbon, 2x alloy) for 5 months racing (about 12ltrs run time), carbons wear faster but the alloy look almost still new, very smooth clutch.
Just put a Buku in my Truggy sofar good, like the idea of the easy adjustment and have heard nothing but good about the Buku.

I've ran the Ascendancy clutch, M2C, few different brands stock clutches, and the Buku and so far the latter is my favorite. It is more expensive initially but you will eventually save money by not having to replace clutch bearings, shoes springs and clutch bell nearly as often as a standard aluminum clutch. The Komposite shoes are really good...and the set screw adjustments tension are just an added bonus.

That's what you'd pay anyway when you are buying a new pair of shoes, dozens of bearings, CB, after they wear out on the M2C/Werks/Ascendancy/etc.... trying to match the life of the Buku. 
Not to mention the Buku is easier to tune (takes all of 5-10 SECONDS versus 10 MINUTES) and less maintenance.
Those are still around?

If when you say the Buku is really ALL that good when it comes to low maintenance and low wear, as in it's comparable to the Fioroni slider(two of which I have, each with well over ten gallons on the same shoes...), then yes, I would pay $80... But then I really would be expecting a clutch with ZERO maintenance except changing bearings and cleaning off now and then for a good ten gallons..
The Fioroni slider is no good on .21's - I've tried and it kills the bottom end, but they really are low as in almost-no maintenace on my 25's and up, except for the occasional bearing change and clean-off.. If the Buku offers that for .21's, I'd consider it..

Love the feel of the M2C clutch, but don't get that great of shoe life...
