hey guys weve started building our bot, and our power train required a small clutch of somesort, hopefully manual engagement, any ideas what we could pull one out of? was hoping to find them for under 500g i was thinking rc nitro car, but they are centrifugal and never completely engauged which wouldnt allow brilliant pushing power i wouldnt think, and no the engine isnt liquid fuel based, so falls easily within the rules.

centrifugal is probably the easiest way. go kart ones are about 2000-3000rpm engagement and the proper mini moto bikes are 8000-10000rpm engagement. they have a straight shaft with a keyway in them usually so im sure you could get that to work easy enough. bonus being new clutch pads are cheap and easy to get.

i use ones out of KTM 50cc dirt bikes. there are bullet proof and cheap as.

manual wise i think youd have to settle for an air con electric clutch which look pretty massive.

anything else i guess would be rather complicated with splined shafts and shifter forks and stuff id imagine or a dog clutch -
