Kyosho Caliber 30 & 60 - Concept - Nexus > clutch upgrade for Nexus

Does anyone make a after market glutch and cooling fan that will fit the Nexus 30 also clutch bell. The one that comes with the kit works but there has to be something better.

I have the Helimax 'turbo fan' on mine.. it's anodized blue alunimum, and it works quite well, and much cheaper than the Kyosho upgrade. I know Helimax also makes a low RPM clutch drum mod for it too, but for the actual clutch, I'm not sure.

I was looking to see if there was a clutch made for the Nexus like the Concept one a one piece unit. The two piece shoe type like I had on the old Kalts seems to go weak after awhile, I have no gap problem on the Nexus eveything is tight and works smooth. I have a buzz in the start shaft-clutch-clutch bell don't know where I keep looking, all is square and runs true, no vibration just at idle. When flying there's no buzzing sound any ideas.

check with century, I have their clutch on my concept and it is very nice, has extra cooling and is ionized aluminum, also the helimax turbo fan is very nice, I have a new one for a concept, if it will fit I will give you a deal on it,

I'm not sure, but I think the concept fan and clutch won't work on a nexus.. I could be wrong though.

The clutch bell was the closest thing to what you're looking for that I could find.. sorry it wasn't a really good answer though

The only difference is that it is a smaller diameter, so the clutch actually engages at a lower RPM.... supposedly so you have a more positive and consistant power drive during heavy aerobatics... I still have the standard one and it works for me.. The only thing I changed was the fan to a Helimax turbo fan.

Sorry couldn't help more.. Unfortunately, it may be just me, but I think not many people do upgrades for the Nexus anymore. It's a shame.. I still love mine!! They fly soooo nicely.

Thanks for the info

I have a Concept 30 the clutch is not the same, it's a one piece unit, the one on the Nexus is two peice. You would have to have a new fan with a one piece clutch with a cut out to fit the start shaft. I have not found any one who makes this part as of yet. The Nexus is a good 30 after you get the bugs out of it, I got it for Christmas from the wife so I have to keep it, my concept is from the first kits to come into Tower back in the early 80's .Still flys great, my others are X-cells.

Yea, terrible ain't it, all the guys around here fly raptors, and I fly my 1991 concept upgraded to SRX, they gennerally make fun of the old bird, untill last week, when I got my last mods. new VR head and ksj paddles. I almost bought a Venture, but now will have to keep the old C30 a bit longer. got to do some inverted flight last night and some great piros. it seems to keep up with the raptors pretty good.

Well, it looks right in the edit box, but it changes when it goes on the thread. Whatever...

Tower has clutches at $30. Check their site.
