Even with that flywheel you will probably have to do some modding. If you want I can help you since Gabe taught me...

I don't even know if I'm going thru with this yet...I have to see yours and if it's worth the upgrading.

a 1/8 clutch really makes that much of a difference? I've been thinking about putting one on my supermaxx in the future.

I can tell a huge difference with the 1/8 scale clutch on the .21 versus the 1/10 clutch on the 2.5... I can't even imagine how bad it would be on a bigger motor. I am glad I spent the time and money and did it right. I will get an extended chassis and mark the holes perfect for the trans and I will be set...

Going to a .21 is what made the difference. The 1/8th clutch is only for durability and the fact that you can actually dial it in. Did you use alum shoes?

Yeah... oh... yeah. Those would probably be a big part of the difference. I know my stock clutch got the job done but it was not the best by any means... I may put it up for saly if anyone needs a stock one...

I got it off of Gabe for the most part... It is an ofna 3-pin flywheel for the OS.21 some 16t clutchbell, aluminum shoes and whatever springs he had. The bearings were some $1 ones from LH... Works well... shimmed up perfect.

it funner to make stuff work on your own
Makes ya feel like you acomplished something
NovaRc 7075 shoes
Mugen 1.0 springs
HPI clutchbell
(that's what's in Dan's truck)
Dan, after you tune it, if it's undrivabley powerfull drop in a 17T CB and some .9 springs. That will tone the bottom end down and allow you to put the power to the ground alot easier.
Revo2K, read up on putting a OSRG in the revo. I've seen it done but the traxxas BB kit says it will NOT fit, period.
