WOW, you gotta be kidding me...
I have this clutch and these bearings and its been working fine for a while now:
http://www.carolinasrc.com/webstore/...idproduct=5711
http://www.carolinasrc.com/webstore/...?idproduct=300
I had fun with the 18t clutch and thought it would be "cool" if I bought a 12t clutch to try it out.
http://www.carolinasrc.com/webstore/...idproduct=5705
So I go to install it yesterday and it turns out my bearings that I have in my 18t clutch dont fit!!!!!
Needless to say, I was pretty pissed off, when I bought the 12t clutch I didnt notice it said "requires 5x8 bearings" so now ive got to wait 2 weeks for some tiny little bearings to come in before I get to try my clutch!!!
ps: if anyone needs dish rims, theyre selling them at carolinasrc for a ridiculous price, 5$ for two dish rims?!? cant go wrong...I bought three sets.

yeah it kind of is, I swear I read through it though, it only has two lines or writing... I dont know how I missed the "5x8 bearings" part.

Have you ever thought about buying things at your LHS. Then when you bought the clutch bell you would of noticed that you need different bearings and would have got them right then and there.
But you know thats a smokin deal on the net. Good luck with that.

My LHS is pretty dumb, and most the time they gotta order parts too, and its a 1 hr drive... so 1 hr drive, talk to idiots, wait two weeks for items or talk to you guys, order online, comes straight to my door/post office.

Yeah I'm in the same boat as New to Cars. I walk in the door and ask for a servo and they look at me like a deer in head lights. They are nice people, but do not know anything in depth about RC. They do have one guy that is fairly knowledgable but is so full of B/S and would rather brag about his 15 airplanes, 10 helicopters and 25 cars to care about the customer's real needs, PARTS. Not everyone has a good LHS near them or I think the online business wouldn't be as profitable.

Last time I went in there to buy my engine and stuff, there was this 45 yr old guy playing against this 45lb 7yr old chinese kid in a yu gi oh battle, as were about 20 other people. They were playing all sorts of weird games and were all intense and serious about it, it stunk and I hated it. there was this one guy with a pony tail, he was renting internet time to play WoW, I wasnt impressed at all, I felt sorry for all those guys....

I wish I had a nice LHS, closest one, thats worth going to, is a 4 hour drive from where I live... or maybe it would be closer to go south, cross the US border, and shop somewhere in the northern states?
yup, my LHS is more so a comic store, filled with complete nerds/geeks/losers.
