After some great testing and abuse the RCshox Garodisc are now available in two flavors! I tested them with and without the clutch basket, so I made a design specifically for the basket as it is a great tuning tool.

Two disc setup: the first thing you notice is that they are more like a real clutch and have a progressive "grab". Once it locks in its in and it does this time and time again with no fade or glazing. At times you can actually pull the front wheels up while it is slipping but it just holds them at a certain height instead of trying to flip the truck backwards. You can basically drive through the wheelie. with the stock pads the motor mount and outer slipper plate would reach 140+*!! with these disc both of the plates were only 104*

Triple disc setup(clutch basket): This thing is really cool and acts just like a 1:1 triple disc, which is why these disc are designed to provide less grip than the dual. In testing the clutch basket engaged much quicker and required VERY little spring pressure, in fact the nut was only halfway on the shaft and it would still lock up in about 3ft! on the track this is great for quick jumps and right out of turn obstacles where you need punch. i feel that the clutch basket with the Garodisc on sticky clay and hot motors will be the ticket!

As with anything that requires slipping you will need a little break in time and for us just running about 5 minutes with it slipping for about 4ft did the job!
