Default Centax clutch kits

Anyone know where I can find one for the ntc3? All sources from the past seem gone.

If you know which one will fit, you might be able to get one at dollarhobbyz as a kit item.

Maybe, but I love this car. It has major history and ass whopping capacity when in company of other high end cars. This was the most notorious car at weekly meets for a few years. Gave many 1/8 scale cara a run for their money too.

I have a G4 too, so this will be my lot basher for now.

I did pick up a ofna centax, let's see how it goes.

I too was a Ntc3 fan and I resisted change when the new generation belt cars came out (kyosho and Mugen). But I finally realized I expending too much energy in getting and keeping my Ntc3 as fast as the new belt cars. Without a good centax clutch for the NTC3 I see no way you can be competitive with the new cars of today.

Centax isn't the be all and end all especially in the nitro tc3 with such a free drive train. You can get original clutch to work better with lightening the shoes and the harder clutch spring. Look back in the RC10ntc3 thread for tips and pictures.

So I bought the ld3 centax, looks like a nice piece. And today, I find my stash hidden away of k-factory stuff. Turns out I have several kfactory centax units and a 3 shoe kfactory clutch.

I also found a bunch of other stuff for my G4 and mugen cars. I found a kawahara mtx3 negative differential which I don't need as I don't have a mtx3.
