Quick question guys. After installing lightweight out-drives and aluminum hubs i noticed that with 129mm of droop the rear dogbone on the radio tray side was very close to failing out of the out-drive at full extension. I ran the truck two laps and the dogbone popped out on both laps, is there a fix or is there something i may have assembled incorrectly?

help me out guys. i have a motor with very good snap on the bottom and i want to smooth it out some with my clutch. i am running a 14/48 set up with a steel flywheel. what would be the best shoe/spring combo to smooth it out without burning up the shoes every race?

i would say a green/gold all alum, clutch setup whould help with wear and be smooth at the same time.

the only time ive seen this issue first hand has been a bent hinge pin, but you say its all BN....so Im stumped.

I use Yamaha Filter oil from the Cycle shop, More then enough for years to come and it works like a champ...not too thin and not too thick.
what have you been running ? need to know that before we can recommend anything.
Lowering the stall on your clutch will make everything last Longer not shorter.

I think he's talking about carbon shoes. I ran them on my buggy with black springs and they didn't make it through a 30 min main. They were dust after every race day.

i run 2 alum, 2 comp with black and green springs and they last 2.5-3 gallons. i toss them at 23.4 per drake. TKO Bearings are the ticket

B on the hub and the lower outer on the tower. I think that's the one you were using already.
