I ran the clutch this weekend and the assembly is very nice. I did install ALL of the screws for buggy due to the spool up time, the clutch was very peppy. I can see this thing greatly improving the snap of the larger truggies.

I ran 2 .95's and 2 .90's and my buggy had very good response without too much explosive power.

Default Shoe Life

Mitch, how do you think the shoe and spring life will be compared to the other quick change clutches out there.
Thanks.

Mitch is out in Alabama. The shoe life is competitive to any on the market. We have tested many different metals to get the best combo out there. We have also punished several different set-ups to see how much wear and what kind of failures we may have. But back to the question, it all depends on how it is set up. lighter springs and harder shoes give longer life. Soft shoes and heavy springs "more snap" has less life. Hope this helps.

Hard shoes are my favorite.... I tried soft and med and found they don't give the kick the hards do....

I am running all the weights in the flywheel and 4 .95 springs with reg hard shoes. I perfer alittle punch to it but most around us run 2 .95 and 2 .90. I guess that's what makes this clutch so nice. You are able to tune it to you, not just get it close and deal with it that way.

Mitch sent you a PM I was planing to buy a setup for the serpent Truggy bought a variable but it hits the center diff. I was told to buy item 6077 its not a complete setup and it looks different from other variable clutches from the pic. Do you have a complete package want something like item 6074

Mitch don't normally do this but have to take my hat off to you this new clutch system is just spot on, tuneability is awesome and shoe life greatly improved... best thing about this clutch is every part is available to purchase separate so replacing the posts and getting more life from the clutch is great stuff.... It's also good to know that the clutch is up to a hole weekend of racing with out having to take shoes off and file the excess from the edges... the newer one with the extra holes allowing to change weight radius inner or outer holes is a big plus as well..... O' and when you say hard shoes it means hard shoes.....

Just received some prototype shoes from Mitch for testing. They are aluminum shoes but they have been cut and routed to have the same slip, feel and grab as carbon shoes, with the long lasting characteristics associated with aluminum shoes! These babies are sweet as sugar and I hope to have some great feedback available soon. They are being developed in 2 styles with a harder bite or a softer bite according to the design of the shoe. With these new shoes and this new clutch the M2C quick change should be the "end all, be all" of clutches! Nice work Mitch and the M2C team.....

I am totally digging the m2c setup. I need to out a few more screws in my buggy flywheel I had to watch my trigger finger, but the clutch feels very nice.

On a side note I have had many compliments on the serpent truggy towers. They are a big hit around here. I like the milled edges

I run regular hard shoes everywhere and spring/flywheel weight according to the engine I'm running. On a medium high bite track you should be great with 2 .95 and 2 1.0 springs unless your engine is clocked! less bottom end engine use stiffer springs less set screws, more bottom end use lighter springs, more set screws. You should be ok with what I posted as a good starting point and then tweak it from there according to how it feels to you.

I am runnig 2 - .9 and 2 - .95 in the buggy with reg shoes that came with the clutch and 8 screws on a xz speed and 2090. I thought it had too much snap still. So I'm going to add more screws to the flywheel. Bit very controllable. I don't like the shoes to slip excessively. I would rather have the engine do the work than the clutch spin hard.

I run the same setup in the Agama but with a CRE B6 and no set screws in the previous version of this clutch. Absolutely love the snap, just grips and rips. I've thought about trying a different clutch just to see what the difference would be, but honestly I've been so happy with the way this clutch system performs I'm sticking with it.
Mitch also provides great support if you have any questions. Always replies to e-mails, I like that.
