Extech Nitro X3 Clutch System Categories - Extech, Accessories, Engines, Off Road, Products - comments closed 
The Extech Nitro X3 Clutch System is a 3 shoe clutch that allows you 3 different spring adjustments without removing the springs and shoes. This system allowed you to easily dial in your clutch for track conditions in a very short time. Adjustments are made by removing the nut and clutch bell, then the inner adjuster is lifted up and rotated to the next position to adjust the spring tension. No more springs and shoe issues every time you need to adapt your power to changing track conditions.

K Factory have released their HiFL Off-Road Dual Intake Air Filter, developed to be the most efficient and easy-to-maintain off road air filter available. The Dual Intake design dramatically reduces air turbulence within the filter and allows air to flow smoothly and unrestricted, which means your engine breathes better and as a result operates at maximum power without stalling. The dual stage foam filter traps dust and debris that could ruin your motor, yet allows the free flow of air to keep your engine running smoothly, while the lightweight design eliminates drag and helps reduce overall vehicle weight.

K-Factory Alu Cluch Shoes Categories - K-Factory, Accessories, Engines, Off Road, Products - comments closed
K-Factory have released a set of 3 aluminium clutch shoes, aimed at improving the strength and performance of off-road 1/8th scale clutches. Manufactured from high quality aluminium they are designed as direct replacements to the standard clutch shoes found in most off-road buggies and truggies. The use of aluminium means the shoes will last much longer than a standard plastic or carbon injected shoes and this means less maintenance and less cost keeping your car up and running. Another advantage of aluminium shoes is better heat dissipation and improved clutch grip or response. The shoes will hold onto the end-bell harder resulting in less slippage and more power from the engine to the wheels.
