The reason I say I don't like the stock clutch is because after 5 tanks the shoes show quite a bit of wear for only 5 tanks. There were chunks of deposited aluminum from the shoes on the bell. I didn't feel like it was a consistent clutch. Maybe I'm just so used to Mugen and a werks clutch it was very different. I say the build was weird mostly because Ive been running Mugen for so long and built so many of them I personally had to re-learn the build process with a different brand. I feel like the plastics used for the mud guards is either just a bad batch making the plastics brittle, or a poor design only having 3 attachment points to the chassis. I cannot complain about how the truck drives, besides the clutch feeling different than what I'm used too I was able to run the same lap times within a 2 tanks on the box stock setup that I was running with my Mugen(after extensive changes from box stock). It just seems like the radio tray screws were too short on top, I'd love to see a larger cut out on the top of the a-arms so the steering rod end attachment hardware didn't have to "wear in" to the arm when at full droop. I'd also love too see stronger left side mud guards, and some changes with the radio tray hardware. Other than that I dig the truck, it's reactive, seems to love being driven hard, rotates great (I personally will be making some changes for more on power steering, just the way I drive) the adjustability of this truck is awesome, the strength of everything except the left side mud guard is awesome, I will attach some pictures of the clutch after 5 tanks of driving on a medium grip, medium size track with no abnormal amounts of wheel spin. Please chime in and tell me I'm judging this clutch wrong and why, I've never driven this "Losi" style clutch. I chose to switch to TEKNO for many reasons, all in all I can't say I'm dis-pleased with the truck. I've driven a lot worse out of the box trucks. In my opinion a few small changes would make this the absolute best out of the box truggy on the market today.
