Nova Centric Drive Plates
#SCH1317, $12

After months of testing, racing, and development at SDRC Top Gun, Winter Midwest Champs, and the 2016 Reedy Race, the next generation Nova Centric drive plates are now available. In testing, drivers noticed the Nova Centric plates provide more instant punch for short-takeoff jumps while still maintaining the smooth throttle and brake feel the Nova is known for.

The Nova Centric plates remove the washer stack from the Nova design with a detailed self-centering milled slot in the center of the plate. In addition to self-centering, the new plates have 6 vent holes in a swirl pattern to help cool the system as well as catch debris as the pads wear.

Nova Centric Plate Features:

Black Hard-Anodized Aluminum.
Self-centering, no washer stack needed in the assembly.
Vented for consistent performance and wear.
More instant punch feeling, better control for jumping.
Still the most smooth, long life, and low maintenance clutch on the market.
Instruction supplement card included.
Fits all existing Nova Clutch applications for B5M, T5M, SC5M, TLR 22 family, Kyosho RB6 family of cars and trucks.

Pro-tip: After the initial 3-4 runs on the clutch with new pads, disassemble the clutch and wipe down all the pads and plates with a lint-free towel. Re-assemble at the same spring tension setting. This method has proven to extend clutch life and provide the most consistent performance.

Losi Nova Spring Adapter
#SCH1314, $3

The red anodized aluminum adapter is a perfect fit to the 2.5mm thread on a TLR 22 3.0 topshaft. The part helps keep the Nova clutch spring perfectly centered to reduce vibration in the drivetrain.
