I was there and to be honest i was really impressed by the number of 4wd cars at the event and 3 punishers in the top 5 on there 1st event fantastic .I hope we will see the same amount at Kort in a few weeks.

More importantly we can do better :punk: Was a great result for the first national race of an unraced (in the UK) car.

Don't forget the MCD has been around a few years and the TB II is brand new so a great result.

Also my spies tell most Punisher drivers were running 23cc engines with standard 6000rpm clutches :damn: Not good. You will never get the punch you need out of a corner with a standard clutch spring.

There are a couple of really simple mods to make the standard clutch work better either lighten it by removing some material or use a HPI Baja red clutch spring :) Don't belive the hype, fancy expensive clutches can be better if set up right. But in my experiance a properly set up standard clutch is hard to beat.

You will be amazed at the difference it makes. I'll post some pics at the end of the month when I get home.

I can't wait till the BRCA Rnd 2 race at Kort. Have to see if I can make the car reliable and fast :)

i must admit i have had my clutch out today and removed some material to lighten up the ends for a slightly later engagement .

You will notice a big difference. If you don't you need to make it lighter lol.

You can usually pick up S/H clutch shoes on fleabay pretty cheap to experiment with.

Chris, Nutech should do the CY 8000Rpm clutch spring as a option part ;)

Can try this clutch.

[CAR-KILLER]

Yes please i will take it and test for you

[Freeprawn]

Looks good Chris.

So long as it engages at about 8000Rpm it's a winner. Is it adjustable?
