1/5 rovan 36cc clutch issue

[Kyle0208]

I recently bought a rovan 36cc 5T that had a burnt out clutch so I replaced it with a dual spring metal clutch with 8k springs. When I was outside testing it smoke was coming from the clutch area does anyone have any advise on these metal clutch

Smoke from the clutch? Is it stuck to the bell? Ditch that clutch and go with one of these FS metal clutches.

Did you get any oil on the clutch shoes? Clutch shoes are made of the same material as brake pads on 1:1 cars and if you over heat them right away they will smoke. It should stop.

I took my air gun and removed all of it. What kind of break in procedure do I have to do

None. Sry to say you bought a bad clutch. Shop on DDM for your replacement upgrade parts.

First off nobody can give you any accurate guidance advice until we get more details about what's going on. Your too vague on info and need to give us more details about what's happening. I'm having a real hard time understanding why a brand new clutch is blowing smoke ??? That's a tell tale sign that your clutch is overheating from some type of major drag.

1) will your drivetrain spin freely by hand ? (make sure your brakes are free and not locking when you have your transmitter on and trying to accelerate )

2) Does the clutchbell spin freely by hand ?

3) what happens when you rev the engine with the wheels off the ground ? Is the clutchbell trying to spin ?

Best advise i can give from what I've learned over the years. Just because its new doesn't mean its not broken or defective...

From my experience alx 70mm clutch rcmax 62mm clutch and my ufc 54mm all smoked form the initial first tank but after they have seated/beded in and the oil gets burnt off the smoke stopped

Its not a top shelf clutch
Buy a ufc or fs and be done with it

I had a but of smokey smokey with the fs I stuck in the vekta. Wasn't much tbh. Been fine the last few tanks.

Clarification is needed, does the clutch continue to smoke or did it smoke only once and then stop ?
