Seriously?? I could care less about how much the part costs. Lol. It’s the removal of the motor to get to it. But then again, it only took me about a half hour or so to pull the motor out.

So am I wrong to think that if I would’ve ran my car as much as I have within the first two or three months of owning it and I had a broken clutch shoe to think that there might be an issue? Because one could really say that that’s pretty much what it amounts to. The only reason it happened over...

I guess that’s a heavy possibility too, I just never would’ve thought that being in storage for so long would’ve affected Certain parts like that. My original Talon tires dstill had lots of tread left on them but, they were pretty well dry rotted on the side walls so that’s why they had to get...

Hmm. So what are you saying, it coulda just been an “outta the blue” thing that mine broke? Is it possible that the combination of running it hard with much bigger/heavier tires that probably did it in? I mean, I really don’t know how much larger over stock I can go in a set of tires before...

Well, reading this sure leaves me in quite the predicament because you are literally the first person to say you’ve ran your shoes correctly installed and have never had one break. I’ve read quite a few responses from other people that have broke them properly installed and flipping them over...

Not saying he was but I figured he was saying the binding was occurring right there between the fixed end of the one shoe and the loose end of the other shoe right below it....

Well, I guess that definitely could be a possibility but considering that since those loose ends of the clutch shoes swing outward and away from the ends that are fixed that are attached to the flywheel on those pegs, I just can’t see how something bound up. Maybe it did, I dunno but I think I’m...

These parts weren’t worn out, though. They broke.

Well, maybe it is. Maybe Traxxas is perhaps just following the same design as other brands, I don’t know, because Traxxas is all I know but at least with Traxxas, it is a known issue, and by simply flopping the shoes over so that the rotation of the pegs aren’t pressing against the weak spot on...

Yeah, I’ve got me a new set on order. But from what I’ve read, it’s not all that uncommon and quite frankly I think it’s due to a piss poor design from Traxxas. That’s why when I get my new set, I’m going to follow what a lot of people have told me which is to put the shoes on upside down, not...

All of this material shaded in green is gone on one of the halves. Spring is fine- has a stretched spot but it isn’t broke.

Hey guys, I know this is an old thread but I just noticed I have a broke clutch shoe as well. Or at least that’s what I think it’s called, it’s the two “C”s that face each other on the inside of the clutch bell i guess that’s called, that meshes up with the flywheel on the trans, with the little...
