I've done some testing with the nt1 clutch setup yesterday on my g4-.. after about 7 tanks, clutch wear is almost none existent (main problem with the ed, clutch wear).. spurs looks almost untouched even though i was using a 15t pinion... overall, i was really happy with the mod......

Hi Pattojnr, few guys at our track were using the nt1 clutch bell, nt1 pinions and nt1 thrust bearings only.. i'm using the whole nt1 clutch setup except for the black clutch spring, clutch spring cup and clutchbell bushing.

At the end of the day the more stick time makes a difference.
I have been running with a spool for a while now and love it.
It allows for late braking and hard acceleration out of the corners.
The oneway i have only used on a fast flowing track early in the year but the car felt inconsistant so changed to spool and was faster for me by a second a lap.
I guess it also depends on your driving style as some guys swear by the oneway and others diff/spool.
When in doubt i always go back to the spool setup of Darren Johnson and work from there.
As for initial understeer with the spool, try a bit more caster or rear droop.
Sure the RS will be a improvement but im happy for now with my cars as they are.Will look at RS upgrades though.
Aussies the Red dot is a excellent motor and very underated.
Im going back to the Palmaris PR12 definately the motor that worked best for me especially with accelleration.

Hello Everyone.
Good to see lots of "new" people with the G4. A great car btw !
I see some have been trying out the Nt1 clutch......interesting?!
Good to see another evolution to the car in the G4RS. Another bringing together of the upgrades available for the car. I do like the different role-centre options on the rear. Cool !
Last race of the year I tried bringing together all the 'upgrades' and improvements with the car in an endevour to make thecar as light as possible then add weight where I wanted to bring the car to weight. (1725g)
I didn't realize I would have to add around 80g to get it to weight. I may look at making brass weights to add to the car on the bottom pivot points as Joel J did with his 1/8th Evolva. Which I thought was an excelent idea!
My car was hugely underweight and became a little unblanced with the added weight. (Not really distributed correctly.........insufficient time and bad weather :-( )
I had the car ready to run at 1640g !! (Just a little underweight..lol)
With the advent of Wolf Hobbies, I may stick with the G4 now. Still to really decide as I would like to try my hand at offroad competition. We'll see.
All the best to all G4 owners anddrivers and a happy new year to all !!
