Clutch Question
Sorry for the newb questions, but i am new to nitro racing after a long time in electric. I have my 8t built and the bell spins completely free of the engine i.e. bell spins, but fly wheel does not move.. The problem is i put it on the ground for the break in and the car barely moves even at 1/4 to 1/2 throttle. If I add a shim it will start to have some resistance while spin and if I add all 3 shims it will not spin freely and turn the fly wheel at the same time.

The flywheel should not turn when the clutch bell spins (engine not running of course). The clutch bell should be able to move slightly back and forth, usually the difference in one shim will make it good or too tight.
If the engine is revving and the truck not moving, check the clutch nut for tightness and if the clutch shoes are brand new new they may need to be "seated". Beofre seating the clutch shoes they can slip and not grab the bell to move the truck. Seat the clutch by holding the truck to the ground and giving it throttle without letting the truck move. Do this about 2 or 3 bursts of quick throttle.

can anyone give me a brief run down of the changes/part numbers between the original RC8T and the new CE? I just picked up a Mayfield edition CHEAP, and want to update it....
as far as i can tell.. some blue aluminum stuff and the radio tray?
Anyone have any part numbers

rear camber
hey guys, under what track conditions would you run the short upper rear camber length. [ the c hole] in the blue hubs. does it make it tighter or looser, than running the [a] hole! in the blue hubs?

Arron,
The "C" hole helps the rear end square up better out of a corner. At least that was what I was told by Saxton when I asked that question at the Nitro Challange this year. Been running that hole location and have liked it more and more as I drive it.
Dlewis,
I assume you are asking for a current goto setup? If so there are two I know of. One is Mayfeild's Nats setup that the "CE" setup is based off of. The second one is from a racer on here, Shane is his name I think. It's posted up on this thread some where, not on AE's site though. If there's another one people are using, I haven't heard of it as those two setups seem to be the most referenced.

Updating of the truggy could be a good thing,
My thinking is if the Buggy updates made that car so much better, than maybe that style of change could make the truck better. Just a guess though. I myself would like to see that happen, but AE's two top guns are still getting it done with the current truck. So it's still a winner, but with the Kyosho set to get an update of some kind and I suspect that Losi may use some of the new ideas on the buggy (radio tray from the nats and what ever else they might be working on) if they work well. If and when those two Mfg.'s do something that outdates the current RC8T, then I would expect an update if the truck is no longer up to snuff.
