Scott, an alternative I have found to drilling out the flyweights it to remove two of them. In other words, just use two instead of 4 flyweights. Of course, the remaining two flyweights must be opposite one another to ensure balance but the car seems a lot more responsive with only two flyweights. And of course if you don't like it, you can just put them back. Drilling is a one time deal. Don't like it and . . . . you need to buy new flyweights.

Talking about clutches, has anyone seen the KFactory UFO clutch for the G4 and RRR? I doubt there will be any Mugen as KFactory is related to TeamMagic. They seem to have an innovative approach to letting the flyweights move in and out when rotated though. For those who have not seen it, try this link and type UFO in the search window.

Not a bad shop. Prices are reasonable and if there is something I can't find somewhere else, the Border usually has it.

You could remove two, but I while I can't be sure that what I am going to say is true, I will tell you why I would rather drill the weights.

1st: The weights are under $10 at full retail if you have to replace them.
2nd: With all the weights in there the weight distribution, balance and pressure on the pressure plate is most even. (Don't know if this matters, but I know this works.)
3rd: In my case I am already running the spring quite tight so I know that I am not going to need the heavier weights.


While I know there are many people that drill out their weights, the person that actually was the one who told me to do it not only drills them out to 4mm (I was cautious and went to 3.1mm then 3.5mm) is one of the top nitro drivers in the world so I had a little faith in him.

If the two weight system works for you keep doing it. Innovation and new ideas come from all people. I have several clutch setups maybe I will try it for myself anyway.

Wow, very impressive Jay!!! Is that a brand new car too? So, what is the final weight of the car & do you now have to add anymore weight to make it legal? Thomas must be jealous now...

The total weight of the car without body is 1601 grams. Body is around 100 grams. I need to add other 24 grams to meet legal IFMAR. I’ll see you at Pre World, my hands are getting itchy now.

jaykay

itīs not a good idea to change the receiver pack. the mtx-4 need the weight of 5x 2/3 cells. we also have tested at our track and the car runs much better with 5x 2/3 cells.

The harder the clutch shoe the better the grab? I would think that a softer shoe would grab harder but faster wear.

Snowy, you are just jealous. See you in the big class in 2 weeks. Can you bring some horse power this time?

nah man i'm not jelous i weighed my car at Jay's mine is 1610. these are old pics below. i added a transponder to my car and i am running the small bumper bar.

my car has blink blink on it snowy and it's only 10 grams heavier than Jay's also, mine is with the stock mugen chassis, so minus 10 grams of my weight and my car is equal with jays!!! i weighed it with fairly large tyres 59 ish mm in diamater

jaykay

i think, there are only 4 changes necessary:

1. brakedisc
2. front anti bar holder
3. wheel hub
4. clutch shoe (yellow)
