Nitro tc3 questions

Alright I just got a nitro tc3 And I'm looking to begin racing with it. Not pro level racing of course, just club racing. I used to race a TC5 so I know the racing scene. So back to my question, I'm looking to put a sirio s12-trp pro in the nitro tc3, and I'm just wondering if the engine will work because it has a pilot shaft and what clutch should I use?

Thanks for any help!

A centax clutch is going extremely hard on your diff gears(weakest point of your drive train). Good luck and have fun!!!!

Pass you soon...

Thanks for the help! Now my finale question is this: would anybody happen to have the part number for the 3 shoe clutch? All I can find are the two speed clutch parts and the 3 shoe flywheel. This maybe a stretch but could I just order the three shoe flywheel and two sets of the 2 shoe clutch shoes and springs?

Thanks again
