Also..one last thing...do I need a special tool for the job?

Thanks again.

Yes JroCc, thats the correct nut. Regular hand tools should be good enough to do the job.

 

[JroCc]

I thought it was better to use the 1.1mm springs with the nova shoes? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that's what everybody else was using and suggested.

 

[Jeremy]

No I think the 1.1 are brittle .. the 1.0 is what I run and wont run anything different

 

[xtremsavage]

Oh ok. I must have miss read the review you did. Next time at the LHS I'll have to pick up the 1.0mm springs then. Oh well, live and learn.

 

[JroCc]

No...I saw 1.1mm springs also...but it was in some of the older posts....thats why I wanted to make sure.

Thanks for clearing it up SJ.

Like X said, regular tools will work, but a clutch shoe spring tool will make things alot easier. Trust me, I put the screwdriver through the top layer of skin on my left finger trying to remove the springs and shoes off my buddy's GST. Doesn't feel too good.

 

[JroCc]

Is this one ok..or do you recommend another one?

Yeah, that one will work. It's just like the one I have except for mine is the Team Losi one and it's blue. But both are designed the same.

I had the 1.0 springs break on me. Two of them in fact. It stopped my motor in its tracks and locked the clutch bell to the clutches/flywheel, luckily it didn't damage my nova shoes or clutch bell. I was like what is going on here.

I just ordered some from smfstore along with some bearings. It is pretty sad about the price of gas, when shipping is cheaper than driving to the hobby store and picking them up yourself.

 

[xtremsavage]

Jester, I plan on gettin the LRP soon, hopefully. Would you recommend using the 1.omm springs still or the 1.1mm springs?

1.0 won't load up like the 1.1. Big difference between the 2 springs.

 

[RangerRock]

Not to hijack but I ordered a set of the 1.0 springs to go along with the clutches and the mugen pilot nut....

Saying that we should get the 1.1's?

 

[Jeremy]

No IMO 1.0 is the best

Mis interpret what I said. 1.0 is the way to go. 1.1 way to heavy and the .9 are way to wimpy, Skimpy

 

[RangerRock]

sorry hop now I understand, I figured to get the 1.0 anyways since it was in between both... thanks guys.
