Understanding 1/5 Scale RC Clutches and Springs 

Awesome. Good to here. Thank you for commenting!

Appreciate that

Can't wait!

Glad it helped

Looks like your boy Luis beat me to it. He has a video on the probite

Exactly Kyle. Thanks for watching.

Thank you 🙏🏽

Yeah, I may do that this year.

Yup, I learned the hard way. LOL. Thanks for watching Allen.

Yessir👍🏽

🙏🏽🙏🏽

My guy. Happy bday bro.

Will do bro. I did mention the 8mm and 9mm bolt differences. I figured most guys new how to install them, but were oblivious like I was on what the spring rates and shoe types were. I'll do another vid later on the basics.

could you do a video on how to install and set up the two speed in the MCD

Sorry, I don't run the 2 speed on any of my MCD cars.

Lol

That's not right. Need to remove and see if the clutch is binding or broken spring. You can get tight bolts off by heating them up. A small torch I use for this.

Clutch bolts probably backed out and touching the bell.

💯💯

Awesome. Great to hear. Bishop's Duox did great last year racing at Wagner. He's still learning and getting faster.

Do you ever gone to Charlotte to run. I'm trying to find people here but it's hard

No I haven't. We go to Rockingham NC to race dragsters tho.

Ok

Wassup Thadeus. They will be having their 1st list race 1/21/24. The address is 6200 Keystone St, Philadelphia PA 19135. Most races start around 11 or so. Their list races will be the 3rd Sunday of every month. No events are planned yet.

@@CrucialRC Thanks for the info. I’ll be heading over there to check it out.

Good stuff. Are you from the area? If so you could join their list.

Yeah I’m in Jersey right over the tacony bridge. I’ll also be going to the onroad races. I had a dbxl and now a 5t. Dragging and onroad look like fun.

That's wassup. Can't wait to race with ya. See ya at the line!

Hey. I'm not sure what size clutch is on that vehicle. If a 52mm then a good stock zenoah clutch will work with a 9000 rpm spring. The bell I'm not sure about because I'm not sure if it's proprietary to rovan or not. The way it engages the pinion gear is different among brands. So if you change to a different bell you may have to get that brands pinion as well. Tools get a good hex driver set like MIP or Proline. Detroit performance also makes a good driver but attachment for a power screwdriver. Also get some decent sockets and ratchet. No need for snap on but teknik is a decent brand w a comfy feel. Good luck bro.

Awesome. All depends on the engine. All engines have a peak RPM range they like. What engine are you running?

@CrucialRC OBR 32 reed. Also, what kind of fuel is best. I know you're not going to give up all your secrets, but I'm really trying to be competitive and learn as much as possible.

For a 32cc I would be above a stock 8k spring for sure. For fuel I would use a ethanol free 91 octane fuel unless your engine is built for higher octane.

@CrucialRC Thanks, fam

1st off is the question of what are your plans with the car? Drag racing, on/off-road, bashing, course racing? There is a massive difference between the $1400 max pro, $2000 mx for, and $2600 max ultimate. Diff, diff cases, alloys, radio tray, shocks, etc. All depends on budget and what you want to do with it.

Thanks for all your help bro I'm ordering mine in a week or so. I'm not sure if you have made a video on tuning in the past but if not could you please make one?

Yessir. I'll add that to my list of videos to make.

What's your plans with it? If just bashing go with a 8000 zen or cy stock clutch.

Ok i haven’t changed anything the clutch in stock but I might put up the zen clutch on , im just trying to get my take off faster i have different gears already and a pipe but im missing something i think lol

You could try the 9500 spring and see how she likes it. It may a bit high for a 30.5 but try it out. What gearing are you pulling with that car?

20/54 and A v2 dominator pipe and 990carb

That's pretty high of a gear. I would drop that down to an 18
