| Post subject: | Need more Bottom end ???????? |
I am having trouble at my local track. The track has alot of 180 degree turns and jumps immediately after the turn. If I swing wide, I can clear the jumps (doubles) but I would like to stay tight on the turn and be able to clear the jumps. I am running the 48t spur and the 38t overdrive and that seems to help alot. I am thinking that I need to either replace the clutch shoes with something different, or the whole clutch system. I am even to the point where I may even go out and purchase "More" motor with more low end and torque. But I would hate to do that since my motor has only a couple of gallons on it. Any input would be greatly appreciated.. |

fisrt thing is traction .. are you getting enough ? then the xray clutch to suit your motor high reving engines require late engagement so thicker clutch spring ....high torque engines a thin to medium spring ......a engine with torque is better suited to jumps , but remember if you aint got traction your not getting the power down |

What motor are you running? What clutch bell? What clutch? Can everybody else make the jumps? |

I am running the standard 13t clutch bell with the black clutch springs and carbon shoes. I am also running a Rb S3 motor. I have good traction but yes, it seems that most of the higher powered motors seem to make the jumps look easy but I continue to struggle with them. |

aluminium clutch shoes and thicker clutch springs is all you need |

Yeah you need to get rid of the carbon shoes and go to the stock Xray 1.71g aluminum shoes and 1.0 springs. You should see more snap with the aluminums. |

how long do the aluminum shoes last and are there any maintenance on them. Obviously I have never ran them so any help would be great.. |

They are the only way to go!!! You get so much rip on demand out of those things! I think I get about 2 gallons out of them before i change them. |

the clutch thing can be a matter of choice also. the carbon shoes will alow some spool up before grabbing which can help on loose tracks. i either run carbon with 1.0 or 1.1's or alum. with 1.1's depending on the track and conditions. but the alum bite hard and fast. |
