Anyone notice the new clutch adaptors from Tekno!

[Semi Pro]

the brakes are not engaging while accelerating, im not useing 3rd channel mixing, i am currently useing a y-connector

i will drop the old tekno adapter in the mail, where do i get 3-shoe clutch pads from? because i cant think of any 3 shoe clutches

[teknorc]

Any standard 1/8th 3-shoe clutch shoes will work (Ofna, Kyosho, Mugen, Jammin). Or we have a set that can be used (TKR4105). Same with the springs, but we recommend the thinner .7mm springs (TKR4107).

Also, you might want to try the truck without brakes for a couple minutes (just unplug the servo) and see what happens. Either way, get us that old adapter and we'll get you an updated one. Thanks.

got my new 3 shoe clutch a couple of days ago. hoping to get my Mugen up and running this weekend. i havent even been able to drive a single one of my trucks for about a month now. i am having serious withdrawals. everything has been taken apart while making custom chassis'. anyway, the weather is a bit warmer now and i cant wait to drive again. i looking forward to trying the new clutch and let you know what i think. it looks top quality.

question though, i didnt see any carbon shoes that you sell for this new clutch. do you have any on your site that i didnt see? i just want to run a single carbon shoe with the other 2 alum shoes. heard this reduces maintenance and helps to keep the gunk out of clutchbell associated with running alum. shoes.

another quick question.

is there a reason why you used steel for the clutch shoe adaptor instead of aluminum like most designs and like your previous 2 shoe clutch? i know you mentioned that this new design is heavier just wondering if using aluminum could have save on weight a bit.

We went with steel so we could have it be all one piece, spin true, and greatly increase it's durability. Using aluminum wouldn't have held up.
The three shoe clutch, ready to go, is only 3 grams heavier than the previous multi piece, 2 shoe design ready to go. And the new two shoe clutch adapter is 7 grams lighter than the original.

thanks Matthew,
another question. does the new 2 shoe design use the same springs as the 3 shoe with a trailing shoe setup or is it like the old 2 shoe setup with the spring that wraps around the shoes?

Same shoes and same spring set-up.
