It should be good. If the guys from Fast N Furious bring the trailor, which I'm sure they will, you will find most anything you need. They are big Serpent guys and good people.

Clutch behavior
I hope someone can help me understand proper clutch adjustment and expected behavior. I have read the FAQ and everything on proper clutch adjustment but it doesn't seem to behave right.
When the clutch is cold it wont engage at all or just slightly. As it gets hot it starts working better. After about 3 minutes of hard clutch use it finally seems to be grippy enough or somethings so hard hitting that the car may try to spin out.
I have taken the clutch apart several times and re shimmed. I am currently about .5mm play. The only thing that gets the car to move at all is loosening the spring nut so it can engage earlier.
The initail slipping and such wouldn't be too bad on a large track but my local track is very small with many tight turns that have me on and off the throttle continuously.
I am a newbie to on-road nitro but have lots of off road experience. Is the centax 3 clutch supposed to act like is described? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

That is 1st issue when this car came out.
Try to change to this part and see what happen:
1. SER-802509 Centax-3 clutch shoe yellow
2. SER-909518 Centax II coilspring 1.8
Start with .8mm end play, good luck !

Thanks GoldFinger!
What is the difference between the yellow clutch shoe and the stock one? Is the spring softer than stock? It says centax II but I take it that it will work in the centax III.

Spring is harder, you need it to compete on tight and technical track.

Jack, suppose you switched hotels just because of the itsy witsy T-maxx in the parking lot last year? Well this year we will be bringing a real truck (FG 1/6) along with an F1 and some other show and tell things... All of them capable of 100 db plus...

The new hotel is Ralphs idea, but the pics look great and the price was good.
