Clean it up and use 2 drops of RED locktite.

I picked up the Werks Pro clutch last week and finally got around to installing it on Saturday. Also grabbed a Robinson hardened clutch bell as they're a little deeper than the Losi unit. Installation was a piece of cake requiring no shimming behind the collet on a GRP Tuned. This placed the flywheel dead center in the chassis slot. Didnt need any shims behind the clutch bell either (2 or 3 on the outside IIRC). The clutch felt great (medium) right out of the box on a medium/large track that is just starting to blue groove (Barona). I havent pulled it apart yet for inspection but I'll post the results later this week when I get around to it. At this point, I dont think I'll ever use the Losi setup again.

They're pretty much identical. Made in the same factory. The Werks clutch offers some more adjustability over the Ascendancy clutch. I'm not sure either one is the best clutch. The losi clutch IMO is every bit as good as those two and more adjustable. There are more shoe and spring combos available for the losi clutch than the other two.
