New Jammin Red Shoes and Clutch Springs
Keeping up with the trend of less weight within the drive train and less overall weight of the newest racing buggies and truggies, Jammin Products felt it necessary to develop a clutch that would match these power to weight characteristics. The new Jammin Red Clutch shoes are lightened to increase throttle response and are machined from a special aluminum alloy to promote long wear. The edges are beveled to reduce the mushrooming effect and the clutch shoe set includes 1.0mm springs, 1.1mm springs, and shims. OFNA Part #40926 Retail = $29.95

They are not any faster!
Great Job,Daniele!
