But for the first race meet with my new car was a massive dissapointment to be honest. I was having issue after issue and didn't finish one qualifying heat! Some were my fault some not but i was hoping for a bit better of a day than that. Next time maybe

You wont beleive it, after posting about the 2 speed c-clip the other day my screw came out of the end of the shaft half way down the straight. Put it this way, the only thing that over took me down the straight was my 2 speed hub

Out of the two. I've always prefered the stock shaft using the E clip. I have a number of spare e clips and renew it every other race weekend.
Not only that but the stock one is alot lighter then the ED two speed shaft and brake/pully system
Each to their own though.

Sorry to hear about your bad day. I'm sure you'll get used to the car very soon and have much better days !! It really is a good car and will surprise you with it's good behaviour on the track and handling.
Like all cars though. It does have it's 'qwerks' ....lol Things to check often and to look for.
All the best for the future and please let us know how things improve for you.
I miss Nitro racing ..... getting too cold here to race and American don't like racing unless it's at least 70 degrees (18C) ....lol

Hi guys,
Back from race at Argentina, This was an invitational race with driver from across south america and USA. The US driver was Chris Tossollini!! He is a little fast!!!!
I was the only TM car at the race, but that makes the things more interesting.
Handling was ok, but the main problem I had was the clutch set up, DAM!!!! I mad every thing, used UFO, UFO2, JP hard spring, Kyosho hard spring, Mugen Ultra Hard Spring, TM Black and yellow spring... different gap and preloads, the best was the JP spring with almost 1.2mm preload. I was racing with JP EAGLE, black version, VERY FAST engine.
I used the brown shoe and the black one, I like the brown, it last alot and has a nice feeling.
The first problem was that the UFO2 shoe was wearing more at one end, I solve this by making the guide hole on the shoe of 3mm, this made the shoe more free, next problem was that the shoe made a "step" on it and ths step made the clutch not to have full contact.
To make it shorter, from the start of the semi, I had problems and I was 1 sec slower of my pace, yes 1 sec slow... as you can imagine I was frustrated the shoe ended with a BIG step, but that is racing and we need to find a solution for it.
The clutch temp at the end of the 30 min main was 110ºC
and the engine was 135ºC, The engine is still great
Have fun

I believe your driving style is very aggressive.
