Default t maxx upgrades?

as many of you know im in the process of rebuilding my 3.3 t maxx. while its apart im going through everything and change, replace, etc... what needs to be. im using the traxxas 3232x glow plugs. are them fine, or should i use a different plug? and im running mip clutch shoes. is that a good option, or should i run a better clutch shoe? any input is appreciated!

will i would find a 3 shore cluth for it with some aluminum shoes and for the plug i use an os number 3 or 4 the 3 is a medium cold and the 4 is a hot but i only use the 4 on cold days. i did take the plunge and by a buku cluths for mine wich i like but there is an intergy one for alot cheaper and those shoes do hold up for a long time i think im going on my 4th gallon now on these buku one and and i had got 3 gallons out of the intergy setup befor i got the buku one and they still seem to have a lot of life left in them also

yea i actually did some research and people were saying that the integy clutch is pretty good, even though its integy. i mean the gloe plug im using works fine. i just was wondering if theres one that will work better giving me more power maybe. ok, thanks for the info! i will look into them clutches.

wow, i just looked up the buku clutch and $59.00 is pretty high. the integy come with a flywheel. i already use a robinson racing flywheel, could i still use that and use the integy 3 clutch shoes?

never mind, my rrp flywheel only has 2 posts, the integy needs 3 post flywheel.

Integy clutches are the best for the money. Huge performance difference compared to stock. But stay away from the Integy aluminum 2 shoes they only last a few runs.

You would probably get alot more grab with the 3 shoe. So I would say the 3 shoe.

yea i hear and read the aluminum shoes do have a lot of grab. but also require a lot more maintance. i hate to lose my rrp flywheel its vented to. but im sure the integy one will do fine.

i mean the mip clutch shoes dont give me any trouble and work fine. im just trying to improve anything i can. i can always get the integy setup, and if it dont help or notice any improvement, i can sell it and go back to the mip clutch and rrp flywheel.

Bought my first buggy in may. I love it. You will be impressed by them. Any little tweak changes the way they run. They run like cats always land on there feet.
