Check your quick change mount and make sure you have installed it on the motor correctly as it has to be assembled a specific way. I think you have it backwards or upside down or both.


I have corrected the issue with the clutch bell. It was the wrong bell and I replaced it with a Losi bell and new tank. Everything with the clutch bell is good now as you can see in an earlier posted pic in this thread.

So here is the deal with losi clutch bells..

If you are running a losi clutch, you have to use a losi style clutchbell, end of story.

But if you aren't....

If you have a one piece engine mount, you have to use a losi clutchbell on a losi car.

If you have a two piece engine mount you can bolt the top part on backwards, which will move the engine forward, and use any clutch bell and any clutch

I hated being stuck with losi clutch bells. We didn't always have them on the wall. Plus those little stepped washers aren't easy to come by either... So if the losi CB fails for any reason, or you lose that washer, just remember you can flip the engine mount around and run a normal CB.

I wished someone would have let me know this way earlier in my tenure with the losi. So I'm doing my part to let everyone else know...
