Are there any clutch bells out there that will fit the car but are taller(or longer) then stock bells?
I dropped in a new motor and I find that the clutch bell is about 1mm short from being even with the spur gear. As if the motor was moved back just a hair to far. I cant shim anything enough to bring the bell forward or else the screw binds on the front bearing not allowing the bell to spin freely.
So it would seem that my options are finding a clutch bell that is longer or taller then stock,run with it as is(it's only 1mm at best..more like .5mm). Or return the motor for something else.

This kit has the 7mm shim: http://www.amain.com/product_info.ph...Bells-Shim-Kit
Here are some 3x5mm shims:

center diff
Anybody else have this happen? Ran buggy first race and it was great I was a full sec. Faster on fast lap and top 5 and 10 noticed my center diff leaking after so I opened it up changed fluid and retightend then it started spinning out all over the track. Started going thru everything and found the diff shims looked like this and my diff was locked up. Took shims out put back together and feels crunchy and stiff.

Well technically I could see where it would throw the entire clutch out of balance. The light spring side would be engaged before the heavy spring side, causing more weight to be on the engaged side creating an uneven load.
That's just hypothetical guess.

So there is nothing on the front page. Im wondering what bodies fit the car? I already know about the FTW Xray body so besides that and stock,has anyone used a different body either Xray from say proline or something else from a different car?

So, i've disassembled my clutch, and here are pics.
A bit angled view, to see that shoulder:
And here is wear pattern:
Spring order was correct, and i've placed shoes according to it. Now i'm a bit confused abut that angled pattern on shoes from gold springs.

Mine are showing normal wear. The shoes with the lighter spring have slightly more then the other two. After4 runs I've already noticed some overlap on the sides of the softer spring shoes so some cleaning was needed.

Then there's also the ProLine body that apparently is nearing production.....honestly, I think the Finnisher looks better.
