ya dont stall the carbons any higher then green...they wont take it...the truggy will beat on the 2/2 combo...that's why i run a M2C 4 shoe on truggy and stock losi set-up on buggy.
yes sir....i think it would work for what your trying to do....and even if the comp does wear a little faster....your only using 1....so a pair will last 2X as long in essence...try it on green first and if the wear is crazy fast go to black...your not really looking for that 1 shoe to do much of anything but start the initial clutch grab a little early and the fact it will lube the clutch and prevent slag build up.
i have taken a polishing bit to the inside and hit it real fast....the fit on some bearing's is better then others...but its normally a perfect fit as you dont want it too loose or the outer race starts spinning and defeats the purpose of the bearing itself.

I run my Clocked Jpx.21 in truggy on a M2C 4 shoe...COULDN'T ask for anything better.....9's all around and i get Gallons from my shoes/spring's....I LOVE it.

Also if you do run 3 alum and one comp. be sure the comp shoe is in line with the flyweight one the crank or it will cause a vibration that could shorten engine/engine bearing life.

I dont think so...running a 3 shoe with 2 alum 1 comp or 2 comp and 1 alum made jack difference on the motor bearing's/life...and it wont make a difference on a 4 shoe either....you Do Not have to worry about shortening the life of your motor or bearing's from running this set-up.

.....just something to consider; I run the exact setup in my truggy as my son in his buggy. ....2 alum/gold and 2 carbon/green. We run the stock losi flywheel and Answer/rc shoes. Even though I run truggy, my clutch shoes lasts approx 40% longer than my son's. We are both very competitive in our local class and run in the A main or upper B mains. .....this makes me think that driving style has a lot to do with how they wear. I used to compare my clutch use with his and it used to freak me out; I couldnt figure it out. I spoke with Brian at PTM and he said that some people are so hard on the shoes, ignore the de-burring needed between rounds, and the shoe eats itself up quickly. My son blips his throttle a lot in off power turns and I dont. Other than that, our styles are similar. I started checking his clutch after every heat and making sure there are no issues with the alum shoes. Now his clutch lasts longer; but still not as long as mine.........

I'm just using a Spektrum DX3 for now. I'm just a club driver nowadays so 6V performance is good enough for me. I believe the Rx needs to be regulated. What reg do you use?
I'm thinking the stock 1400 NiMh will probably work just fine though.

Spec is good for 9v so you really dont need a reg......I run Futaba rx with a losi reg.
try a stickman 2500 pack...there pretty good.

I use a diamond hand file....but a dremel works just be careful to not let the bit or drum get out of hand....and for when to do it...when the shoes have a melted lip building up...you want to 45degree those edges i also do the trailing edge of the shoes as that get's build up there as well.

I have the ofna truggy starter box...thinking about buy the losi quick change motor mount..my question do it raise the motor up little bit or there will be no problem with using it with my starter box?
