O.K. The clutch bell should spin freely on the shaft. You will need more shims than are supplied to do it properly.
Use the tapered collet from the kit not the one from the engine, I use the smallest amount of threadlock on the motor shaft thread but that is up to u. Once the shoes are fitted, place the bell on the shaft with the 5x10 bearings in place. If the bell rubs on the clutch use enough shims to prevent the bell contacting the shoe, you should not be able to turn the motor over when you push the bell in and rotate it, this sets the clearance on the inside.
Now the end float has to be set, with the thrust bearing in place on the collared shaft trial fit and test the end play, use shims until the clearance is about .3mm.

Is there any reasons you would want more or less slop in clutch bell?
All info appreciated!

Have you also changed camp from Yokomo? I know Jeff Knib, Karl Lee & Wade have them?
I might just have to come out? Is this the last meet for this year?

I put a new Novarossi S3 in the new MTX-3. A perfect match.
Racing starts around 6:00.
Remeber to bring your car and race.

Has anyone tried spacers or other modifications which would allow 0mm rims to be used (and achieve 200mm)
Can the hubs be adjusted far enough out to increase the width?
