What clutch and spring works best?

Two aluminum, two carbon shoes with silver springs on the aluminum and gold on the carbon shoes seem to work best for me in almost all situations. Pretty much run it everywhere. I have also found that gold springs all the way around with the same shoes gives the clutch a really linear powerband.

I have 1 1/2 gallons on a set of Dynamite Max-Life clutch shoes in my 8ight race roller and the shoes show almost no wear at all. They didn't burr at all either so I'm sticking with them from now on. Going to pick up another set for my truggy too.

clutch
Silver being the stiffest spring may not allow the composite shoes to engage until later in the power band , you may have only the aluminum shoes engaging through out the first part of the power band= lots of prematurely worn out aluminum's, generally the heavier spring goes to the heavier shoe, but if its workin' run em.

Can anyone recommend some good shock piston boot covers, The stock Losi ones rip way to easy, and Im tired of replacing them.
I bought some aftermarket shock covers, the ones that cover the whole shock and spring, and they seem to work ok, but there a pain when you have to do some ajusting on the shocks.
Somebody on here posted a picture of some shock piston boots that looked liked they would work real well, there ribbed almost like a accordian and are thicker than the stock losi units, dont know who makes them though?

Black balloons for shock boots. The average cost of 4 shock boots is $6.60And they last a couple of weekends...maybe. The bag contains 100 so your cost per set of 4 is .37 cents !!
Bag of 100 for $9.35....

TKO starter box plates
Is TKO still selling the top plates for starter box? This is where you set the buggy down on the plate to align to starter wheel.
