The chassis isnt worn to bad. A lot of the black is still on the chassis except front and back(i already have de racing skid plates on order) should i change the truggy chassis now or do you advise waiting?
AND
i need a little more bottom end, ive been advised to run 2 silver springs amd 2 gold w/ 2 alum 2 comp but i dont wanna kill my shoes. Will running the 4 max life shoes with 2 silver and 2 gold have decent life?
btw engine and pipe set up is good
for the T chassis i would keep on running it unless its past 1/2 the overall thickness of the chassis.....a worn out chassis will flex more which equates to more traction on a rougher track...too much flex might cause the rear bone to bottom out in the center out drive and potentially bend the shaft and or break the rear chassis brace....i dunno im thinkin extremes here.
Ive ran DE's from day 1 on all my gear and my truggy/buggy chassis is still BN black underneath the skid....i think its kinda extreme some guys replace the chassis every season or even every 1/2 a season(which ive heard of from guys who race the PIT frequently.)
for the clutch...going to 4 alum shoes will provide you with a lot more bottom end punch which will also equate to more wheel spin which can be a bad thing if you don't have the traction to support it.....the 2 comp on gold and 2 alum on silver does work but you will have decreased life from the shoe's.....wait wait...what vehicle are we talkin here for the clutch ? buggy or truggy ?
