I can afford to buy new but having never done it before if I don't like it I've less to lose. possibly?
I bought second hand Mugen MBX-6 with loads of spares but I really didn't need to use any other than bearings in hubs. Transmission is reliable and not showing any signs of use same for other parts other than bottom of chassis. I'm more than happy that I went this route.

As for clutch - I bought JVD clutch (sold as Ascendancy effortless clutch in USA). Easy to put together, and to change springs. Also very reliable one.
