Mac the Knife Clutch Basket
Garodisks
Pinned Shaft
My question is, what combo do I use for the MTK Clutch Basket & a Pinned Shaft (Garodisks, HD Pads, Stock Pads) for out door 1/8th Scale type Tracks with rather big jumps to clear? When its hot out the tracks gets dry and dusty... achieving good grip is tough. When it rains during the week and we get a break from the weather its loamy and traction is quite good. Any suggestions, tips or recommendations? I certainly would appreciate some feedback...
Thanks Guys!
Dont pin the shaft with the basket. Do one or the other. Pin shaft works best for the large loose tracks, as it locks the pulley going to the front so the slipper on the inside of the slipper does nothing.
However if you have garodisks with the basket there is more grip than any AE and will allow the slipper to work as intended.
I would just run the basket with the garodisks, you wont have a problem.
For a base setup go to AE's website and pick a pro setup that best suits your track and go from there. Shim up your upper link ball studs on the tower, 5mm in front and maybe 2mm in the rear. If the rear is loose try to lengthen the rear upper link, it will make the rear of the truck "dead or lazy" and calm it down.
