and they have two diffrent flywheels also.
Just wanted to chime in on this. The "Pro Cltuch" is designed to work with any buggy on the market. We make two different diameter flywheels for this. The 32mm version will work on Kyosho, Jammin, HB & X-ray, the 34mm flywheel is pretty much standard for all of the other vehicles. You mentioned clutch bells and the only one that I have found so far that needs a different bell is the MBX6 for which you would just run MBX5 bells or any other type of bell that you have laying around.
Now as far as the clutch it's self it is really cool because we have them available in 3 different weights of flywheels. So this allows you to tailor how your engine delivers power to the type of track conditions. Meaning that if the track is slippery and blown out you can just stick on a heavy flywheel and this will stop your engine from spooling up so quickly making the car much more controllable and reducing wheel spin/fuel consumption. Then say later the tracks groove up and you can put power down, just pop on a lightweight flywheel and now your engine spools up quickly and is reactive again giving you full punch. Or say you are running truggy and your engine is just a little too much, just pop on a medium weight Pro Clutch, you will not loose top end or bottom your engine will just spool up a little slower making it much smoooother! The ease of doing this is because you can carry these clutches around in your pit box fully assembled, so to change them is merely a matter of a few minutes! No destroying clutch springs taking a clutch apart or any of that mess! Plus the aluminum shoes that we use last about 2 gallons on a set lol! So not only do the clutches look bling but they kick butt from a performance stand point!
We've been developing, testing and working on these for a while and they are currently being used by Chad Bradley, Greg Degani, Jeremy Kortz and Andrew Smolnick. Kortz also used one in his nitro SC Truck to win the first ROAR SC Truck Nats a few weeks ago. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions about our "Pro Clutch"!
