It's funny you would say that because today was openning day for us and I had major problems with my clutch. It slipped something terrible. Unlike you though, this isn't my first time out with the R40. It ran great at the end of last season.

I got the clutch to work by cleaning the clutch bell and scuffing it up with sandpaper but,,, it's still slips alittle.

I have asked this before but got no response. Is there a standard 2 shoe or 3 shoe clutch that can be used on the R40?

I know some people are using the Kawahara clutch for the Mtx-3 but I don't know if that is a centax or standard clutch?
I dont know of a normal centrafugal clutch for the HPI.

Centax clutches do require some maintenance the scuffing you describe is required every now and then. Frankly the clutch pad is designed to slip a little. It is a teflon pad. If you want more bite change the pad. See above.
