0.1 end float
Any experienced racer should know this without a tutorial.....
What I am missing is that the endplay in the clutch can be a disturbing factor to line up the gears. you have to pull the clutchbell from the flywheel to be sure to get the right position when the clutch is engadged.

Humm. to stop the end float shim your inner bearings to reduce end float to 0.1
I think this is proof that Mugen could spend a bit more time with supporting information in the manauls. Don't get me wrong i love the car but this information should be in the manual from the start.

According to Peitch, his suggestion is to add enough shims behind the flywheel collet so that you then have only .1mm enplay. I'm guessing Peitch suggests this so as to avoid variance in the endplay when the components heat up and expand.

Roelof. Build the clutch so that the .4 or .5mm gap is between the shoe and the bell. leave 0.05 .1mm endplay only. with the bearings and all inserted put bell on, then keep adding shims on the inside until the bell is just clear of rubbing on the shoe. then add .4mm of shims to produce the .4mm gap between the shoe and the bell. Tighten the screw down on the pilot shaft then measure the end play with feelers.

I run 2 types of setup. When running with a thrustbearing I use a very small wavespring as a shim on the inside which is giving zero endplay but due the spring function there is enough room for the clutchbell to expand. The other setup is using a ball-less thrustbearing where a large endplay is no issue.

if you get shims right bell stays still and bearings last a lot longer ex/ thrust bearings have been doing it like that since bailey raced mtx2 ///ha
put 4 year old acer in to day brake/throttle now work again out of old 4r put $5 in old 4r

Not quite, I believe he is saying to shim behind the flywheel to get the gear mesh as full as possible, and to reduce the amount of shims needed to get your clutch gap to bare minimum, possibly cause using lots of shims to get your clutch gap seems to create drifting settings.
I always near enough try to aim for zero end float, but then I aim for that with a stone cold engine, cause I have always found the end float increases .1-.2 once the engine heats up.

btw, FOR THOSE WHO USE PICCO BASED ENGINES, there are two solutions to assemble,
to dremel the collect that comes on the engine on the tip for about 0.3mm or to use
a shim which is 8.7mm x 9.5mm x 0.5which is hard to find, what i did find is that with the picco collect portrudes on the flywheel and wont let the clutch rest on the flywheel, hence the shim to be used between the flywheel and the nut
and i must say the carb is a pain to assemble, it must being at an angle otherwise itll hit the fuel tank, and had to use a bushing on the servo horn so the link works flat.
at the end nothing a little extra work but no issues at all

It's actually out already, Japan has had stock for a couple of weeks, but my guess is other countries importers won't buy stock until they run out the old model.
I still can't figure out the rear upper bulkhead changes for the new parts, can't see anything wrong with the old/original.

While Japan does sell some things cheaper, kits is not one of them, you would likely get a better deal waiting for it to hit US retailers, but I suppose it depends on just how badly you want the new model, do a net search for futaba pro shop if your really keen, though they don't have an online shop in english either.

i did not want to put non mugen parts in diff but we used km set for 5 but they have exploded to day at sunny coast they proved to be aluminium or whatever so we will have to get proper ones ///steel gen ones just as well now and not easter

i just weighed my car fully built. stock parts. two low profile servos, 20 grams extra on the servo side, lipo, spectrum micro reciever, novak regulator, murnan m3 with 2660 pipe and 6 fin header and contact black rims trued with 1mm foam...with body and internal body stiffener...1710 grams.
car hits 1725 with a full size throttle servo. There wasn't any real point for me changing the throttle servo except i was bored this arvo.

the car is good except for chassis/and servo have fixed chassis just have to try stronger brace/i think old one will give more flex bailey is back from camp so will try it sat car is really good/fast he said is better than 4r on in field gears were probably my fault has not happen again/will put new chassis on when we have run new brace //diff that's what you get when you run non mugen parts//ha will put steel ones in soon any one will tell you i hate maintenance but when i work out what has to be done it will get done its no good pulling the dam thing apart if you don't know how to fix it//we are getting there thanks to jeff/trackside he has been great help with bailey/set up

what are they supposed to weigh
