You asked for it and we listened! Designed with the experienced Baja 5B enthusiast in mind, HPI Racing is proud to announce our High Response Clutch Shoe and Spring Set for the Baja 5B. The stock clutch setup in the Baja is good for most driving, but if you want your car to launch off the line with authority and use all of the power that the Baja has to offer, this is the set you need. The stock Baja 5B clutch starts to engage at 6000 RPM and is fully engaged at 7000 RPM, the High Response set engages at 8000 RPM and is fully engaged at 10,500 RPM, which launches the Baja 5B at higher RPM for more punch off the line. To achieve this goal we have specially designed lighter clutch shoes and a stronger clutch spring. If you want more punch from your Baja 5B, give the HPI High Response Clutch Shoe and Spring Set a try

Vertigo Performance Hex Drive Vented Steel Clutch Bell/Pinion Combo is the perfect upgrade for your Baja 5B/5T Features include - Steel Vented clutch bell - Extracts clutch dust and any dirt that may enter your clutch system. - We used a 7mm hex shaft and 6mm Locking nut to completely eliminates bolts that can break. - When pinion is taken off the bell cannot fall back into clutch covers out of reach which can cause incorrect installation of stock bell/pinion design. - A solid shaft from the bell to the nut prevents any wobbling between the pinion and bell which is common with the stock design of keyed bell/pinion. - You can check clutch wear without removing the clutch bell when used with an open carrier or a Vertigo vented clutch cover. - Access holes for those running Elcon adjustable clutches

Elcon 54mm billet clutch assembly. An adjustable clutch with four teflon shoes which is delivered with two types of springs. The clutch can be used for touring cars (long spring) as well as in off-road (short spring). The engagement point is fully adjustable. By using a system of guiding rods on the shaft of the clutch the shoes can only move outwards, thereby ensuring the shoes engage on their full surface area. With this system forces are equally divided onto the clutch and clutchbell, providing a smooth engagement of the clutch and no side loadings on the clutch bell bearings.Fits 54mm clutch bells. Fits Zenoah G23LH / G2D / G230RC / G260RC engines. Fits Chung Yang CY23RC / CY26RC / CY27RC / CY29RC / GP290 engines. Fits most onroad and offroad FG vehicles and clones. Fits HPI Baja 5b. Fits chain-driven Goped scooters using any of the above engines

25 years (plus) racing experience with large scale model cars has taught us that a ventilated clutch bell has many advantages; it helps to keep the clutch running cooler and ejects some of the worn clutch dust as it rotates. With all this information we decided to choose the steel we intended to use carefully, and then manufacture the complete clutch bell from one solid piece of billet steel to ensure the best possible concentricity. We also changed the shaft design slightly to give an improved bearing fit. This new KCR custom made clutch bell is unlikely to fail, runs true and cool, and should help to prevent clutch shoe damage and extend the clutch lining life as well.
