The Inferno GT and GT2 are incredible Nitro RTR cars, however one of the weaknesses of racing them comes down to the stock 2 shoe clutch system. There are limited adjustment options available for this system as well performance is week. Upgrading to the Kyosho 3-Shoe racing clutch is a must for most of us who are serious about racing this car!


Here is the list of parts for converting the GT to a 3 shoe clutch and 5x10x4 bearings:

 

1.0 Med. Springs -

 

Colet and Washers – (Good to have) – Last forever, but only use on a new clutch bell, an old one will burn them up fast!!!

 

Aluminum Shoes Soft – Hard Engagement

 

Aluminum Shoes Hard – A bit softer engagement

 

Carbon Shoes – (Recommended) -

 

Flywheel

 

Clutch Nut -

 

Clutch Bell – 10x4x5 bearing style – Remove the old pinion gears by unthreading them from the bell, they are reverse thread, I believe.

 

Clutch side gear 1 (21 Tooth) – These are the ones used on the GT2 (GT1 is 17 tooth)

 

Clutch side gear 2 (15 Tooth) – These are the ones used on the GT2 (GT1 is 14 tooth)

 

Clutch Bearings – to convert to standard bearing vs. needle bearing

 

Shim Set for Clutch – Get to have to set the correct lash

 

Crankshaft Collar – Required

 

3x15mm Screw for Clutch – Required – needed to retain the clutch bell

 

Newer Longer Lasting Gears – Use this in conjunction with the GT2 Pinion gears. This will give you a better overall gear ratio in most cases.

 

If you get the 2-shoe 2-speed you will not need the clutch bell, pinion gears or Gear set.
