Adam Drake from Mugen Seiki Racing talks about the Protek RC 4 shoe clutch.

[@shedred1967]

Ha! My 4 shoe clutch is already on order from AMAIN. Seeing friends set ups, it's just that more smoother. Great tips as usual Mr. Drake. Happy New Year's eve and New Year to you and yours.

[@AdamDrake]

Thank you sir. It's a great clutch system.

[@robertshaver4432]

Thank you Adam, I'm just starting to experiment with clutch shoes and springs: Thanks for all of your "insightful help" Dude (with all your videos); THANK YOU!

[@AdamDrake]

My pleasure, thank you!

[@rajaa111]

Nice, that's similar to the AE clutch with the hex screw for the clutch shoes, I still love the novarossi buggy clutch it's been doing me very well

[@AdamDrake]

Yes sir!

[@maxrackstraw]

You really should do a in-depth video on engine tuning, i have a new kyosho engine and i cant seem to get the tune right and there is not a very good recent video on it yet. I take a lot of your advice and my friend who has just got into the hobby finds your video extremely useful too!

[@AdamDrake]

That's a great idea and I've been planning to do this for a while. I just need to make it happen. :)

[@rccarhobbyinarabic4088]

Thank you for your constant explanation, Dr. adam, for all that is useful in this beautiful sport and the great support for the Mugen Seiki models😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍Unfortunately, we do not find this support and clarification in schumacher and xray models, although they are all companies that provide professional models, but they lack video clips to facilitate maintenance.

[@AdamDrake]

That's why you should choose Mugen Seiki! :)

[@savantelite]

Any way you could update your video descriptions? Every video shows up as "Adam Drake from Mugen Seiki Racing talks about ..." and i have no idea what the video is going to go over. Thanks.

[@robertshaver4432]

put your mouse pointer on the shortened title and it expands to show the entire title

[@AdamDrake]

@@robertshaver4432 It should show the entire title, but I'll look into that. Thanks.

[@manaz28jose]

Another great vid Adam. Thanks 👍😎

[@AdamDrake]

Thank you!

[@Duececutty6972]

Nice video as usual Adam. First time considering running a 4 shoe. I want to run it in my buggy. How can I make the 34mm flywheel fit properly? Shim? Washers? What do you do for buggy? Thanks

[@Duececutty6972]

Never mind Adam. I see this isn’t compatible with a Kyosho MP9

[@AdamDrake]

The OS 4 shoe clutch works on the Kyosho and we have them on sale at the moment. www.thedrakeracing.com

[@Duececutty6972]

Already on your website. Thank you

[@TheOffgridkid]

What up Adam Happy New Year!

[@AdamDrake]

Happy New Year!

[@JoseTorres-fo8lm]

Adsm salutes ✌🏻✌🏻 One question: For low end power which springs and shoes you recommend me? Please let me know Thank you ✌🏻👍🏻

[@AdamDrake]

Hello Jose, In buggy, start with two carbon and .9 springs and two aluminum with 1.0 springs. In truck start with all aluminum and 1.0 springs. Adam

[@danielwalter5268]

will this fit a Xray XB8 19? if not will the OS clutch fit?

[@AdamDrake]

Yes, both should fit the Xray and we have the OS clutches available if needed on www.thedrakeracing.com

[@MrSpd2009]

Adam, can you take the clutch system off your engine with out having to take the pins, shoes and springs off? I think with the AE clutch you have to disassemble the clutch before taking it off the engine. This would be helpful if you just want to take clutch off, clean up the engine and then reassemble. Thanks!

[@fiveoboy01]

These 4 shoe style clutches can be removed from the engine with the shoes, springs and pins installed. Just pull the crank nut off. Usually I use a puller on the flywheel.

[@AdamDrake]

Hello Rob, it's best to remove the shoes first. Similar to the AE style.

[@germanmartinelliguerra5895]

Does it fit the mugen bell?

[@AdamDrake]

No, you need to use the Protek bell.

[@TheBeardedGrump]

How much run time are you getting out of the shoes?

[@AdamDrake]

There can be a number of variables like track conditions, springs, and how much it slips, but you shouldn't have a problem getting at least a gallon on a set of shoes.

[@TheBeardedGrump]

@@AdamDrake I run the ae one now. I've been really impressed by how long the shoes last.

[@AdamDrake]

@@TheBeardedGrump The shoe life should be very similar to the AE aluminum and hard carbon shoes.

[@TheBeardedGrump]

@@AdamDrake do you know if the protek and/or losi 4 shoe clutch shoes will work on the associated clutch?

[@AdamDrake]

@@TheBeardedGrump The Protek ones will for sure. Not sure about the Losi shoes.

[@jamierabb5065]

What. Box is that,. The blue one?

[@AdamDrake]

I don't think this one is available anymore, but the larger one is still available. amzn.to/2Qh0qn6

Thanks!

[@CueBallRacer]

Hey Adam.Can you take the flywheel off your engine.With shoes on the flywheel.

[@AdamDrake]

Technically you can, but it's much easier if you remove the shoes and springs from the flywheel first.

[@CueBallRacer]

@@AdamDrake OK

[@rafaelsilveira26]

This could be used on a kyosho gt2 onroad

[@AdamDrake]

You would need to make sure the bell fits on your vehicle.
