Oh and it also comes with a bigger wheel which I'm tempted to install as I
haven't tried this on grass yet.

Cheers Dre

Lookin nice that dude! Here's some pics of mine before we went out for icey
car park fun today. When my Sav decided it would randomly melt its spur
gear, which was quite annoying...

Nice work! Those 40's look huge!

But you know what I'm gonna say to that dont you??? BLING steel spur :)
The only plastic gear I'm worried about is the one in the gearbox!

Cheers Dre

I must admit, i am sorely tempted by a Robinson Racing set up, hardened spur
and clutch bell.

Well at £16 for the pair from RC Boyz on Ebay it would be rude not to

Yeah I've got those in mine, wish I'd waited till the HPI ones came out
cause they look puuurty, but the RR one is perfectly ok.

HPi one though is over FIFTY UKP for the bell and spur! That's like, $100!

Do i need anything extra special, or do i just stick a standard slipper pad
on the back of the steel spur and install as normal?

Cheers!

Yep, thats it, you'll need to get a replacement slipper pad cause the RR set
doesn't come with one (and I didn't like having to peel the old one off)...

I installed as per a plastic one, except this time, screwed the adjuster
screw all the way in tight so it doesn't slip. (yeah I know, but I hate
slippery clutches)

Cheers Dre

Now the question is, do i drive 40 miles and pay £30 for the set so i can
have them tmrw, or order from the states for £20 shipped and wait till new
year when i won't get to test them because i have to go back to uni...
Decisions decisions :)
