I am looking at a motor for it, I am not going high end right now, trying to keep my costs down. I am considering the OS motor, but don't know what the difference is between: O.S. .12 TR w/10J Slide-Valve Carb or the O.S. .12 TR (P) w/10J Slide-Valve Carb What does the (P) denote? Also, what are some of the first Hop Ups to consider? You gotta do the front universals. The upgraded brake is a must and the titanium middle shaft helps. Thanks www.twistertires.com |

Originally posted by Bandeira Hello guys... I was taking a look at the Serpent Website and regarding clutch adjustments they say that the clutch housing should have minimal play, acquired but putting some shims between the bearing and the spring collar.. But I didn't see any Mugen guy playing with this endplay in mugen clutches. Assuming that both clutches are supposingly equal, if not, very similar, what this adjustment would bring? Have you guys tryed this in our mugen clutches? cheers... |
i run my clutch with around 1mm of shims between the bearing and spring collar and then shim the bell to have just enough movement to spin freely this method allows for consistant clutch engagement as it is in a set position and does not rely on the bell sliding in and out which can be different depending on whether it moves freely every time,give it a try you wont be dissapointed |
shifting point
What is a good point at wich to sift..
my car seems slow because its sifting way too early..(in the infield..) |
Re: shifting point
if you want your 2 speed to shift a bit later then just simply tighten both set screws, 1/4 turn a time until it shifts to your liking..

Originally posted by vadn1 If you get a chance grab an issue of Xtreme RC car magazine, this month as a set up by Robbie Collins on the Mugen MTX-3.

Great to have in the Tool box when out at the track working on setup... thanks Mark |

The 2-speed adjustment screws are the screws that do-NOT go straight in and hit the center of the shoes......(the screws that go straight-in are the set-screws).........To change the shift point.....adjust the OFF-centered screws that appear to be "angled" into the shoes......notice that the hole in the housing to adjust them is "angled" also....it should be clear.....(when you're on the right screw....and your wrench is locked-on and ready to tighten....the shaft of the wrench should NOT be pointed at the center of the assembly.) Loosen both adjustment screws equally to make shifting earlier and tighten equally to make it later. run my clutch with around 1mm of shims between the bearing and spring collar and then shim the bell to have just enough movement to spin freely this method allows for consistant clutch engagement |

put shims between the clutch bell bearing abd crank nut until the bell does not drag when pushed towards the engine, then ad shims to the thrust race to adjust!

Hi guys,
Need a bit of help with the Kawahara solid axel adpter kit. Basicaly I fit the adapter, the 16 touth pully and new shorter belt. Is this right? Well basically the mesh is wrong somewhere. When I push the car along the ground the belt slips or clicks as if the one set of wheels is spinning faster than the other. Am I missing a part of this conversion? Does anybody know what might be wrong? Thanks NeoRacer. |
Post office found my package. I am ready to build the Prospec. If anyone has done the prospec and came across anything while building that i should be aware of, please let me know. Thanx.

Originally posted by picco007 Which part do you shim first? Do you shim endplay then shim the inside where the spring collar and bearing meet? I have always had problems with my clutches not being consistent. Any help is appreciated. if to tight will destroy the thrust race bearing. |
