I'm swapping everything over to my axial and Ive got some questions about the clutch shoes. is there any tips or tricks to getting them on/off?

just pull them off, there is a spring holding your clutch shoes.
(be carefull, the springs will spring off)

ok i will make a tutorial on a tool i made that makes it very easy to take clutch shoes on and off when i feel a bit better, but in the long run it wont damage ur shoes like a screwdriver or ur knuckles

I got the shoes on but I think I put them on backwards :speechless: but it looked like its supposed to in the picture so I might be alright. I haven't fired the engine up yet cause I still need to swap my carb linkage around to face the right way....I gotta figure that out too.

theres no really right or wrong way to put a shoe on, the most common way is trailing, makes ofr longest shoe life but some people like to have them the opposite way they feel it grips more harder off the start, some racers do it.

Ah well thats good to know. Now I gotta figure out howto get the stinkin carb off.
