Works great! Lasts pretty well, very consistant.

I've never even tried the Losi clutch. I've heard that the combination of plastic and aluminum shoes works well, until you start to get residue from the plastic shoes built up on the bell, then it slips more. I assume you have to clean that frequently.
you don't know what your missing

the matainance ( quick buff with some fine sand paper) is no worse than deburring ali shoes and the clutch bell lasts longer as well

but the standard losi ali's wear to quick so either KH 7075's, losi long lifes or dynamite long lifes are the best
