I'm looking for some feedback on these two clutch systems the Buku and the m2c system If anyone has or is running them.

Which one last longer as for shoes

Is one more aggressive as in more wheel spin, ect

Here is my opinion on them as I have run both for a while. The Buku will outlast the M2C wear wise. The M2C will be more aggressive as it is all aluminum shoes vs the aluminum shoe with composite pad on the Buku, however having said this the Buku can be adjusted to be more than aggressive enough by tightening the springs.. Another nice thing about the Buku is that you do not get slag buildup inside your clutch bell over time the Buku actually polishes the inside of the clutch bell so I would recommend installing a new bell when installing the clutch. For buggy I prefer the Buku over other clutches that I have run for its consistent feel. Hope this helps.

I am running a Werks light clutch with 2 carbon shoes with .9 springs and 2 aluminum shoes with 1.0 springs. I will be buying a Buku soon to give it a try on the buggy.

Hello
Have someone contact to Taylor Petersen and/or Barry Pettit to get their setup's of the Mugen MBX6R here online?
If Chad Bradley was at the ROAR Nats he could post the setup too :-)
Thanks.
We will get those posted as soon as possible. It's been a "catch up" week at work. Both truggy and buggy worked great.
We would like to send out a BIG thanks to all those that support us, also everyone who supported us on RC Live as well as our friends at the track! A special thanks to Kris from Mugen, John McGinty, and Chris Chim in the the pits!

GO MUGEN!

That is way to thin of oil for those pistons. Try going thicker and I guarantee you will like it. You should really be running the CSI Black in the truggy.
