i think i've seen an xray specific one thru amainhobbies.com.. click on the hop-up parts list and they're in there if my memory serves me correctly. I havent used one yet, but i havent heard any bad reports on them.. i'm looking to get one for my RB928 in my truggy as i'm killing a set of springs every couple of runs.

i use it in my TQ the 4 shoe version it works well with the white shoes seems good and its not as hard on the clutch bell bearings either must not create as much heat... I am going to try 2 shoe in EC to see if there is a difference
:wink:

I have the 2 shoe in my TQ. Installed late last year and is still going great on the original shoes. It seems the bearings do last longer when running it.

Installed mine (Turboslide 2shoe) in the 2005, still running the same shoes and only minor noticable wear. I think this is the most bulletproof clutch system ever, easiest to take apart and put together. Also Possibly the best 'bang for your buck' -clutch.

And now there are more options with the 4 shoe turboslide still having the old simple system.

Both my Dad and I have switched to this version after many fellow Xray racers raved on about how great they have been? To be honest, i have to agree with them, it's awsome! I was a bit concerned going from Aluminium shoes back to Teflon but the clutch has been great. I used to run one many moons ago with and old Kyosho but forgot about them after the switch from Kyosho to Crono to Xray (availability was also poor back then!). Fitting the clutch again reminded me just how good they are. :wink:

buy it, you regain the money in a few months...buying less clutchbearings
mount it in 5 minutes, loosen it and rebuilt in 2 minutes

universal type mounts right on to the xb without any problems
just install and drive
heaven on earth

eternal GP winner Cronodriver Tortoricci drives same type of clutch of BBF
for years now and I understand why he wins better ...

Sorry for reviving an old thread but was wondering which Fioroni flywheel for the turbo sliding clutch fits the Xray 808.
Fioroni has a number of codes and i'm confused.
