Ultimate Clutch Shoes ??

[HopIt]

Hey guys, I just wondered what the best choice of shoes are for a stock Savvy clutch ??? The HPI ones are ok but they are waaaaaaaay to expensive for what they are. I have plans to fit an Axial .32 :Xfingers: so maybe I need to upgrade ?

Sorry, it's for a 3 shoe set up on what was once a S25. I am currently running the HPI standard .28 engine.

Where can I get one, can you do me a link so I can see it ? What type of shoes do they use and are they better value than the HPI ones ?

Help appreciated.

Do you not find the aluminium ones are high maintenance with all the crud they leave on the inside of the clutch bell ?

I use nova shoes. They are great shoes. use 1.0mm springs with them. www.novarcproducts.com

i run the hpi alum shoes and the hpi stock shoes. the hpi shoes were pricey but that is all the lhs had and i needed shoes to be able to run. my next set will be the nova shoes

Just deburr them and replace the clutch springs every gallon and your good. When you debur them use 400 grit sand paper.

I've ordered some from Nitro Models now but I did check JE first but they only had the 1.1's :dunno: I'm sure they'd have got me some, but you know how it is, must have it yesterday and all ! :bigsmilie: I don't know about RCHopUps, I'll have a look see for future reference.

Cheers mate,

Cheers dudes ! I gota agree with ya, JE is a top shop and I do alot of business with them. They would go out of there way to help me out I'm sure, but you know how it is sometimes, you just can't wait because the excitement is just to much to bear :jumpers: They are right at the top of my favorites list with Modelsport just below. I'll use Modelsport if I need something in a hurry ( impatient again ), I've ordered stuff from them at 2.15pm and recieved it at 7.00am next day and the p&p is very competative.

Once again thanks guys.

I got the Nova shoes today, but no springs yet. Hopefully they will be here tomorrow :Xfingers: I just wondered which holes to put the screws in ? I suppose in all depends on your set up.

 

[Jeremy]

I run no screws at the moment,, pretty much have to test different weights out

Yea, as I guessed. I just want to try and get a general feel for things and see what's the most popular setting. Thanks for your valued opinion.

Hey guys, am I missing something here ? Only I'm havin problems fitting the new Nova shoes and 1.0mm springs. The problem is when I try to fit the spring, the end will not sit down in the clutch nut groove. It just jumps back out every time no matter what I do. It seems like the groove in the clutch nut needs to be further out. So what am I doing wrong ? :dunno:

 

[[hs] darkshine]

stupid answer, ready.......
do you have the shoe the right way round??

 

[HopIt]

Give me some credit...... I've done this plenty of times !
