VPPro shoes - I have some myself, the wear is good, and they're inexpensive BUT beware, they are designed for 26.5mm internal clutches... not the smaller ones like the Mugen's (26.1mm). They "work" with the mugen clutch but engage a tad too early.

Tony's S5 rings are the best cure to leaky diffs indeed, but the diffs shouldn't be topped off any further than the satellite gear axle anyway, even with Tony's magic o-rings rebuild and grease the diff outdrives well too

Quick question on the mbx6 fuel filter. Does the fuel go into the side that unscrews or the other side from the tank. Thanks

i use the stock o rings and gaskets. i dont change them every time i do the diffs, but the oil will leak out past the orings if no grease is put on them. after you place the s5 oring in the groove put a layer of mobile 1 grease on top of the oring. use the 3 or 2.5mm hex head driver to get the grease on the o ring down in the diff cup. until i started doing the diffs this way i was replacing the o ring/gasket every time and still the diffs were leaking. if you just cake the oring and try to place it in the groove, it wont seat all the way and it'll push the washer up into the gears and cause the diff to feel tight. i do my diffs every two weeks now with only 1 diff gasket and even with old and sometimes they feel a little stiff o rings my diffs dont leak. im sure tony's o rings are really good, just trying to help.

I don't think it really matters, just don't switch it around and have all the stuff that was stuck in the filter going straight into the engine with the fuel traveling in the opposite direction.

most of us are using the .9 springs on the buggy for low bite tracks.
on the cb blueing, after working on the clutch,start the car and hold it down on the pit lane. slamed to the ground so the wheels cant spin pull the trigger a couple of times to seat the clutches. if you ever went out with new clutches and bell, you can hear them slipin pretty good for the first two laps= blue cb.

The worst thing for clutch slippage is when you have a new inner bearing and it heats up enough for the grease to come out. They will slip pretty bad for a couple of laps after that.

That's why you blow the excess grease out of them with a air compressor before you install them!

Hey guy's here's a pic of my clutch with D8 Shoes, see how the bell turned a diff color ! So I went back to the stock Alum shoes . lets see how it goes, I'm gonna try to get my hands on some Dynamites Max life. What you guys think of these ?

My clutch bell is still the original color. I toss those stock clutch shoes to the side because they don't last long at all. The max life shoes are awesome. Try them with .9 springs on low grip and 1.0 on high. I don't think they are as aggressive as a regular aluminum but are more aggressive then the carbons. Kind of a in between IMHO.
