ive been testing the fg mt to see how long stock clutches last since you cant easly seal the clutch housing, so far running on grass, sand, dirt and gravel ive got very good clutch wear after 21 tanks.
i was worried it would be like my baja 5b,s and wear the clutch quickly in sand and dirt and so on, but it looks like my fg mt don't suffer from this problem, so i think i can move up to an good after market clutch.
i also think with side gards on the chassis rails the clutch waer and cluth life can be improved, but i yet to try this, as i wanted to see how the clutch wear in stock form.
ive used the elcon v1 clutches and liked them, heat can be an issuse depending on your set up, but over all i like the elcon v1 clutch, but i found the 4 seperate adjustments screws to be fiddy, but if you take your time its all good.
there are a few types of clutches out with mutliy shoes and multible adjustments, but i think there has to be an easyer way, then a clutch with 4 seperate adjustments.
but ive been looking around for a after market cluch that is a mulity shoe and has a single adjustment to do all shoes, and i found these.
L3 Adjustable Lauterbacher 3-shoe clutch
note from online listing
Adjustable L3 with only one single screw and with replaceable friction pads, this clutch can handle even the strongest engines available.
Contrast adjustable 4-block clutch
note from online listing
Contrast has currently the best and most variable clutch system available for offroad and onroad cars.
All clutch block are adjusted simultaneously via an easily accessible zentral adjustment nut, ensuring a perfect power transfer. If you use a ventilated clutch bell adjustment is possible without any kind of disassembly.
Clutch block weight can be increased by inserting grub screws for even higher centrifugal force.
Three different clutch springs and two versions of clutch block material are available for a wide range of adjustable clutch characteristics.
For extreme duty applications you can add a second pair of clutch blocks for even more power transfer. Even 30 cm³ and highly modified 230 or 260 type engine won't give a problem.
The simple construction of the Contrast clutch makes it a perfect choice for experienced racers and beginners alike.
The clutch will be delivered as an assembled unit.
We recommend the use of the 3 mm spring with 4-block versions.
it seams the contrast clutch needs upgrading if you go by the seller and also special tools are needed.
if there any other mulity shoe clutch with a single adjustment screw out there ?
