I ran this body on my Yokomo GT4 out at SV Speedway. It gets killed out at the straightaway, but it handles the turns so well. Can't wait to see how this will do on the R40.

Guys,

I had thought i was finally over all of my problems... WRONG! The clutch is slipping now. On further investigation, the adaptor that locks the flywheel onto the pilot shaft is coming loose. I have been told it doesn't need to be loctited as it does it self up when the motor is running. I did however try just a little bit and it still did it.... I am frustrated with it as the car appears to be handling well and i can't get a chance to have a good crack at it

I look forward to hearing your suggestions

Loctite will fix that. I always use loctite on that part. Make sure you tighten down on real good. If you don't tighten it enought th little bit of loctite won't help.
