I'm running stock clutches in my HB cars and was looking at a reds clutch but you don't see many people running a 4 shoe set up. What's the plus and minuses?

Tons of people run 4 shoe setups. Look at mugen, losi and serpent. 4 shoe clutches can be more progressive.

A four shoe can run 2 + 2 throws, a pair of differing weights and hardness.

The reds allows you to also adjust HIGH and LOW so you can take up slack if the springs soften.

Stick with the stock HB clutch. It's really good.

I like the feel 3 shoe clutches give over 4 shoe. But 3 shoes clutches don't last very long

Buku clutch is as good as as they get. Now they let you choose three or four.

Sometimes the simplicity of a stock 3 shoe is nice. Just drop it in and go.

What I don't like is how they chew up the clutch bell if you wear the shoes down too far.

I run losi in my buggy and a buku in my truggy. Buku lasted a whole season on alum clutches. No bell wear what so ever. Also run thunder inovation alum shoes in losi clutch. 15 bucks from dialed rc. Cant beat it. They last.

Most of these guys are on point. Imo here are no negatives of a 4 shoe clutch system. I have been running 4 shoes for the past 3 years and have never looked back since. I am running the kit 3 shoe clutch in my new agama buggy today only because I havent decided what 4 shoe system I will use on this car. I had great luck with the novarossi, red's, and losi 4 shoe clutches. I am thinking of trying the Werks this time around.

Reds said the new style 4 shoe was gonna be out in a few weeks. I'm thinking the 34mm one I wanna try

I own two REDS 4 shoe clutches. I honestly have had no issues and they perform great. If you get a vented clutch bell it should last a good long while.
