Thunder Innovation have released a 32mm steel Pro One clutch system for Kyosho and 36mm steel Pro One clutch system for Durango buggies. The shoe design provides much more contact with the bell and there are three types of flywheel for different track conditions. The light aluminium version is used on high traction surfaces and to provide a little extra bottom end snap from your engine. The medium & heavy versions are used to tune for low traction surfaces, as well as to smooth out low RPM power delivery on engines that have a strong bottom end hit.

Team Associated’s Factory Team aluminium 12mm clamping wheel hexes clamp securely onto the axle, preventing the hex from getting stuck in your wheels, which allows for speedy wheel changes. The hex adapters are CNC machined out of 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized Factory Team blue. The 12mm hexes use a 2-56 Socket Head Cap screw (included), which allows for the use of either a 5/64″ or 2mm Allen wrench.

With its superior suspension, race geometry, high performance diffs, bigbore shocks and race-clutch, it is already highly specced. All parts and options of the high end race version fit this Sport version too, so a step by step upgrade is possible.
