I wouldnt even think about running anything other than the M2C clutch on the JPX or the B5. Once you try the M2C you will see the difference with Neal's engine Rob. Your cheating yourself with a traditional 3 shoe set up
Well 1st off you couldn't pay me to run a 3 shoe clutch, lol. I run losi and did a tear down for a spring change in the middle of the day as Neal suggested and checked them again at the end of the day and the were golden. Answers 2.0 losi shoes work way better than the 1st style. Now more will be revealed after multiple race days. Plus we race on very slippery tracks here in Pa. If they don't hold up or perform well i'll be the 1st to admit it. I don't like to bash things, but early on i used everything from reg to ultralight, soft, med, hard with every possible spring combo brand M made and about went broke replacing shoes and aluminum caked bells. Hey maybe the non losi setup is far superior but as of this moment thanks but no thanks. My answer bells are smooth as a baby's ass after much racing. My stall is high and they bite and lockup quite nicely. Neal's B5 is my strongest engine, but i have 3 other horses also. I will print a retraction if the answers don't hold.
