Team Associated Factory Team 4-shoe clutch gauge

Coming from Team Associated is the Factory Team 4-shoe clutch gauge. The tool was designed to detect worn-out clutch shoes that can negatively impact the performance of the clutch and cause an engine to intermittently flame out even when tuned properly. The “Go or No Go” style gauge is placed over the clutch shoes and rotated in the direction of the arrows, the smallest internal measurement profile of the gauge, 23.40mm, determines if the shoes are too worn – with new shoes, it will turn only slightly. If the shoes are smaller than the tool, the shoes need to be replaced for optimal performance. The tool works with a complete clutch assembly either installed or uninstalled on an engine. This eliminates the need for expensive measuring devices such as callipers or micrometers. The tool is made from hard-anodised aluminium and works on Team Associated 4-shoe clutch (stock B3.1 #81370) and Losi 4-shoe style clutches (steel and aluminium).
