Integra, I guess you need a little help with the math again. OK Let say we do a rebuild same parts for each.

So all you need is new shoes and new springs.

Amain Prices.

Ascendancy RC
Shoes = 20.99
Springs (1 Set any Rate) = 4.99
Total = 25.98

Losi
Aluminum 2 Pack = 14.49 x 2 (4 shoes) = 28.98
Springs = (1 Set any rate) 5.09
Total = 34.07

Losi 34.07
Ascendancy 25.98
Difference = 8.09


SO IN SHORT JUST TO REBUILD YOU ARE SAVING $8.09 Every time!!!!

No lets go back to the other thread where you said the Losi clutch is the same price. You are wrong there to. To build a losi clutch and get everything you get with the ascendancy clutch is $12.99 more then the Ascendancy clutch.

Ascendancy New Clutch = 54.99
Losi Clutch with one set of springs = 4 shoes = 28.98 Flywheel = 16.99 nut = 6.79 Springs 5.09 Total = 57.85

Difference is 57.85-54.99 =

So lets say you dont need the springs. You buy everything for the losi but the springs you are still 2.86 more expensive then the Ascendancy Clutch. This is the 3rd time I have pointed this out for you. I understand you like the losi clutch and that is good but please have the facts in order when posting.
