ok, i use a losi 8t 4 shoe clutch set up, get the kit off ebay, there is heaps of them and it's only like 25 bucks plus postage. it comes with everything needed, flywheel, shoes, different torsion springs for adjustment, washers, spacers, nut,bearings ect ect. the only other thing you will need is the losi 8t clutch bell.
it's not hard to assemble, though the spacers will need to be carefully placed to insure the clutch bell doesn't sit on the flywheel. mine has like half a mm gap, maybe 1 mm. the clutch bell is around 15-20 bucks plus postage. these parts are really easy to get as 8t is probably the most popular truggy out now. fyi, it's the same part number as the buggy. look up the exploded diagram for it on losi's site. there are also carbon pad upgrades aswell should you choose them. much of a muchness.
also with the clutchbell, make sure you get the same amount of teeth as what the tnx has, 16 or 17 can't remember. you can go one up or one down from this depending on what you need it to do.
oh, one last thing, this clutch sits alot forward, therefore, you need to make the holes in the chassis where the engine bolts down to it longer i.e, the engine needs to be moved back. around the same length back as the holes are already wide, i only made mine wide enough for the bolts, so it slides in nicely. this can be a pain if you don't have a dremel or similar tool to do it with. however, the clutch is unreal. and it's alot cheaper than getting a fioroni or similar race clutch.
