clutch bell endplay
Well the 16 usually is worn out by the spur. The spur then has the gap increase and then rips through the spur after it looks like the saw blade. I personally do work on a lot of motors and have had that experience every time we use it. The new drive train of the 720 has been re worked from the 710 so the 17t is like running a 16t. A 7.0 final drive(17t pinion and 61t spur) for first is this pretty high and for most track is way more than sufficient. If you need more torque you need to look at the clutch setup your running. Any good clutch setup will wear the pinion and then cause a failure...
Novarossi clutch -yellow shoe (clutch bell gap .80) 1/8th spring Silver 1.4mm tighten down, standard weights.. Softer clutch decrease the gap from .8 to .7...
zx12 mega picco- yellow shoe (clutch bell gap .70)1/8th spring Silver 1.4-1.6 tighten down , standard weights... Softer clutch decrease the gap from .7 to .6

What is the appropriate clutch bell endplay?
Something around .2 or .3?
Thanks

Well good question. I run .8 everywhere. The only time I use less if the traction is really bad.
The first thing i do to setup the car is set the clutch to engage at the time it is supposed to and then I start to work on the chassis setup.
If the traction is bad try to use the black shoe instead of the yellow. The same gap as before just change the shoe.

nice pics bradir!!! great videos as well.... keep it up!!!
one quick question on this new steering knuckles, "what is 0 and 1 degree kingpin angle and how does it affect set-up?"
this part is a good upgrade: beefier and looks bulletproof... gotta have a pair of them.
