 Yes..but they will wear out really fast in Truggy.... best to use a M2C in Truggy... tho if you run on slick surfaces it is not as much of a issue......but if you get on high bite that truggy clutch wont work too well and you really would want a M2C in its place

Sorry about all the stupid questions. will I be ok with the losi 4 shoe clutch setup in my buggy

Can I use the clutch bells, shoes and springs from the losi clutch.

I race mostly on hi bite trax so I will need max weights on the flywheel?

 yes you can...but you dont want a weighted flywheel for high traction...that is for loose traction where your trying to reduce wheelspin...so adding ballast to the flywheel slows down its aceleration to keep the tire spin under control

I'm pretty sure his last revision (couple months ago) and current kit 6074 corrected the issues with the AE's.   So it should be fine on all that use a 34mm flywheel.

I'll get Mitch to post and confirm this.

That is correct. To the best of my knowledge, All of our current flywheel kits fit all the

vehicles out there. Stay tuned for the release of our steel models. part no. m2c6085.

These new steel flywheels start out at 31.5 grams and are adjustable up to 36.5 grams.

What we have found is that it slows the bottom end spool up down just enough to allow the

vehicle to accelerate out of the corners with minimum wheel spin and get the vehicle moving

foward for that first 3 to 4 feet. This flywheel is definately the ticket for the sportsman drivers

Every sportsman driver that has tested it says it gives them much more controllable power

maklng the vehicles a lot easier to control.
