There CLUTCH shoe however may work. I was told some manufacturers buy the same shoes from the same factory in asia due to a patent on design and material. I'll double check it. But who ever heard of anyone anyone following patent laws out there anyways.
I do'nt think so, the 1.0 type sure look the same to me, the kyosho .8 second speed gear housing is one peice.
the only thing that might be different is maybe the bearing sizes, looks like that are direct copies of each other, which is good, I just paid over $48.00 for a new one two speed clutch housing, that 7.69 from hpi looks like a much nicer deal. for what they cost I would not be out a ton of cash.
just would like another option than having to pay the over price trinty stuff.
