RC-Project Buggy Clutch Spring Tool

Italy’s RC-Project has released a new Buggy Clutch Spring Tool to simplify the assembly/disassembly of buggy clutches. The main body is produced in Ergal 7075-T6 and then hard anodised while the central part that will be in contact with the springs instead is produced in steel and then is subjected to a heat treatment to increase the surface hardness. Just insert the Buggy Clutch Spring Tool in the crankshaft, turn counterclockwise until you hook the spring and push until the shoe and spring will go into position, to disassemble repeat the same process but instead of pushing you’ll have to pull. It is suitable for all nitro engines from .12 to .30.

RC-Project revised clutch shoes & springs

RC-Project have released their completely revised clutch shoe, ensuring longer life, less maintenance and greater reliability. The new shoes have 35% more contact surface area, which ensures longer life and less bell wear while the pin hole has been reamed to centesimal tolerance and all edges have been CNC chamfered and not tumbled like the previous version. The shoes was produced from a different material and then hard anodised and branded. The 0.5mm washer was eliminated and integrated into the shoes for greater reliability and to reduce friction between flywheel and shoes. The new spring design allows for quick and easy assembly and have been manufactured from a different material that is very heat resistant to prevent possible breakage or load changes during use. The shoes and springs will fit flywheels from Mugen, Sworkz, HB, Xray, Alpha, Agama, Carrara Z9 and Mayako and will work on all bells with diameters Ø26, Ø26.3, Ø26.4 and Ø26.5.

RC-Project ventilated 1/8th brake disc

These new ventilated super-lightweight brake discs from RC-Project have been CNC machined from steel and heat treated. In addition they have been sandblasted as well as precision-ground with a roughness that reduces the glazing of the pads. Thanks to heavy machining, the rotating mass and weight has been reduced by approximately 40% compared to the originals, all without sacrificing strength or durability. Sold in a set of 2, braking will have more feeling and is still powerful. Available in different versions for Kyosho, SWorkz, HB Racing, Team Associated, Tekno RC, Xray and Mugen Seiki.
