Sorry, quick question. What's the diameter of 1/8 scale tires? Do they need to be trued, or can you run them out of the box?

The older has modul-1 teeth (bigger) The newer has modul 0.8 teeth (smaller). There is no reason to switch to the smaller teeth unless you can not get the bigger ones anymore.

What i have been doing with my clutch the last 4 years racing is the following.
Put the new clutch shoe in an oven and bake it for 20minutes in 200 degrees.
The yellow clutch shoe from the xray nt1 lasted me a very long time with awsome cluth. very consistant and fast accelerating. Consistant because the clutchgap stays the same without much wear. No need for any run in whatsoever.
now i have the Serpent 977, been doing first what the guys told me and had problems. changed to my baking method and lost the clutch problems. All smiles again.
Worth a try and keep it secret so you gain an advantage
i use hard springs though
have fun.

Sup fellas I just grabbed my first rx8 nitro but I don’t plan on using it for track racing, just parking lot bashing. Has anyone used a standard clutch setup on these instead of the centax clutch? I know centax is great for racing but I’m just bashing with it. It’s just a matter of getting the flywheel to align for starter box & gears to align/mesh correctly right? Appreciate any help

With the old clutch the fly weight will move forward over the pin while moving out due the centrifugal forces. Because it will not be in a straight line the movement will have some friction making the clutch less smooth and loosing force.
With the reverse clutch the position of the fly weight will stay put on the pin and will only rotate. No friction so much smoother. And because the movement is in a straight line on the rotation it will create maximum force to keep the clutch tight. With that you can engage on a higer rpm range and still have no slip.
