I run a 13t and it temped at 145 after a 5 min heat. Had to leave before the main started.
About 150 after 10 min of practice.

Yes it is, but your gonna go through bodies twice as fast. I just invested in a new body for the both of them when I had my 2wd.

Wish I could, but my solder is broke and no time to take it to my local hobby shop to get it wired up due to work. I should have it up and operational by Friday.......

Default broke rear idler

I broke the rear idler this weekend.

I'm running a clutch basket. I tighten the screw all the way down then back off about 1 turn. I was skeptical about this adjustment, but it's the way the local fast guy does it.

How are you guys adjusting your clutches?

Is breaking idlers a normal thing? Or did I cause pre-mature wear due to my adjustment?

Thanks.

And if anyone is keeping track, going down in shock oil weight made my truck land a lot nicer.

You cannot adjust your clutch the way someone else does, no two are the same and its a fine line between stripping a gear and the proper setting. He could have a V1 or V2 spring or even a brand new spring will adjust differently.Always start loose and adjust to make it tight never the opposite and test on the track. Tires make a difference too, if you have stickier tires than him it can also cause failure. Best bet is to install a set of Garodisc with your basket and let it slip like it is supposed to.

I do have the garo discs, but haven't installed them yet. I only have 2 discs. Do I need to order a third? If I don't, where should I put the two garos?

With my other vehicles, I've always used the method of lifting the front tires and inch to adjust the clutch. Can I use this method?

No because its 4wd and the slipper has a different bias from front to rear so you need to adjust on the dirt that you are running on.
