Designed to meet the needs of competitive racers, this clutch system ensures smooth, reliable power delivery, helping you achieve your best results on the track.
EasyFit™ Design – Tool-Free, Pre-Assembled Installation
One of the standout features of the REDS Racing Tetra-X Clutch System is its exceptionally user-friendly design. The clutch comes pre-assembled, eliminating the need for tools or complex procedures. Whether you’re at the track or in your garage, setting up the clutch is quick and hassle-free, allowing you to focus on what matters most—racing.
With three preload adjustment settings on the front plate—High (H), Medium (M), and Low (L)—the clutch can be easily tuned to suit different track conditions and engine outputs. Additionally, the optional 1.1mm spring further expands setup combinations, giving you the flexibility to perfectly match your driving style and track conditions.
Enhanced Durability for Longer Performance
Durability is at the core of the new REDS Racing Clutch. Both the clutch shoes and clutch bell have been designed to withstand the intense demands of competitive racing. Made from high-quality materials, this clutch system offers extended lifespan and reduced need for maintenance, saving racers both time and money. Even in the harshest conditions, the clutch maintains consistent performance, making it a reliable choice for serious competitors.
Smooth, Controlled Power Delivery
The REDS Racing Clutch provides a smooth and controlled power output, reminiscent of the classic Tetra REDS clutch. This ensures drivers enjoy responsive yet manageable acceleration, improving handling and overall track performance. The combination of familiar, reliable power delivery with advanced new features gives racers a competitive edge.
Versatile Models for Different Conditions
The Tetra-X™ Clutch comes in two models, both available in 32mm and 34mm diameters, making it compatible with a variety of car models:
- Aluminum Flywheel: Offers medium inertia, making it suitable for all types of track layouts.
- Steel Flywheel: Provides high inertia, ideal for low-grip tracks, ensuring better traction and stability.
REDS Racing clutches are known for their reliability, innovation, and compatibility with a wide range of buggies and truggies, making them a top choice for racers worldwide.
Clutch Spring Adjustments for Custom Performance
You can further fine-tune the clutch’s performance by adjusting the spring preload through the clutch plate, which features three settings: L (low), M (medium), and H (high). Additionally, changing the spring diameter between 1.0mm and 1.1mm allows for even more customization. Typically, 1.0mm springs are used for 1/8 buggies, while 1/8 truggies or high-grip conditions benefit from a combination of 2x 1.0mm and 2x 1.1mm springs or even a full set of 4x 1.1mm springs for maximum stiffness.
