Default Need help selecting clutch

I have tried searching, but haven't really come up with any answers, so I figured I would post. I just got a Savage, and it came without an engine. As a result there is no clutch/flywheel etc. I am pretty set on getting the Axial .28. I was looking, and thinking about getting the following:

Mugen Clutch Spring 1mm MBX-5/MBX-5R (3)
Mugen Aluminum Clutch Shoes MBX-5/MBX-5R (3)
Mugen Flywheel 3-Pin MBX-4
Axial 17T Vented Clutch Bell

Is there anything else I would need? I see that Savage-Central has a complete setup, and tower has a Mugen one. Would either of those soultions be worth it? Thanks for any help.

you will need a clutch nut. As for the flywheel the mugen one might be too big since its made for a bump starter. Just go with a savage 3 pin flywheel. The clutch shoes and springs are awsome its what I used. I havent used the axial CB though. HPI makes pretty awsome vented clutchbells so I just got one of theirs.

Yeah save your money on the flywheel. Just get the stock. I too runn mugen clutch, I use ofna springs 1mm. I like them alot, but however they requir maintenance if you plan on them holding up. Get a mugen clutch nut it will help line the springs better. The grove is a little further out from the stock one. You may also want to invest in a ofna shim kit, maybe a return spring as well.
