Default Clutch bells

I took my buggy apart the other day for cleaning and noticed that my CB was hitting the chassis. I have the forward eng brace installed but this may have happen after I lost my screws holding my eng to chassis. But has anyone had their CB hit the chassis?

Got a few small ones nothing to worry about though. Just from casing a jump or nose dive in a odd way caused those. We run the stock chassis and mount running forward.

The R4 chassis solves this problem because it allows both extended engine mounts to be run forward - making the center of the chassis super stiff.

I may have to buy one now. How does the R4 chassis compare to stock on the Elect conversion. Do you need the center of the chassis stiff or is it ok.

Can anyone tell me if Losi springs fit the Agama? (my buggy hasnt arrived just yet)

Am thinking they wont due to the larger bore shocks, but have a full set sitting here that would be handy if i can use them.

Agama are 17mm, so I'd say the Losi springs will be hard up against the shock body, so not a good idea.

IIRC - HoBao and LRP also make 17mm shocks, so they might have other springs options..

XRaY 808 springs fit. I ran them when the Agama was first released. They are 16mm

With the 808 springs, anyone know what would be closest to the red hard fronts, and green medium rear springs?
