GX-12 Clutch problems
Hi, since owning my Kyosho GP alpha (1 month), i've managed to burn out the stock clutch, which was then replaced by what i was told was a teflon clutch and was "bullet proof", only to have the car stop movin after about 4 runs. I'm quite new to the Nitro cars, what i need is an idea of what clutch shoes to buy, which are going to last. Any opnions/tips would be great 
thanks
thanks

The HPI racing clutch will work also HPI Part A885 as in the URL

Don't get the teflon. For the HPI clutch, use the second hole to get more rpm in the engine before engaging the clutch.

Cheers for the reply, i've ordered the hpi clutch and its on the way. Why would the other one only have lasted a couple of runs? The car on idle is still, brake isnt biting at all so car car be pushed foward freely and all was running great.
