Beleive it or not, one of my competitors drives a Impulse Pro. I looked at his clutch (3 shoe finger type) and you are right. It looks like the gears would touch each other.

Re: Re: Re: Question about the graphite front tower

eBay

I've seen lots of 3Racing stuff there. Do a HPI R40 search and you should see lots of 3Racing items for the R40.

You can get the blank setup sheet from HPI website. And while you're there, you can see Hara's setup when he won the Nats.

Those tiny bubbles are why you should wait 5-10 minutes before screwing on the cap.

Give them time to clear out and you should be fine.
