asd

the guy i get it from ships it from japan or china and then sells it for a few more dollars..all hobby shops ared like 100 dollars more exoensive than his price and if you pay by cash you can bargain with him to pay no tax

compaq888

i'll get mine for like $100 less than usa prices

asd

cool, the hop ups i'm most likely gonna get are the kawahara pro racing chassis and the graphite radio plate, thats about it beacause the V One RR comes with foams already(i think)

compaq888

"FUN" - now that's a strong word

actually asd I did the same thing a while back, it took me quite a while to get through the whole thing. This thread has got a lot of useful information - compaq you should have kept reading there is a lot more there than just talk about lsd diff. There is a lot of general shoot the breeze type stuff you have to wade through to get at the meat. It would be nice to see a technical V1R(R) thread and a seperate one for the general chit-chat.

asd

ya, it would be nice to have seperate threads

yeah i'll finish the other pages soon, i'll probably start today, so will i get to see those pics pattaladragger? i would like to see v one r and the v one rr, would is not a strong word

Yok GT4R is in the stable too - no slouch either..

Hi All,
Can any1 who runs a RBX12 Rear Exhaust motor share with me some info on the clutch bell..?

As we all know that the motor comes with a Cone shape Collar sitting right in front of the outer bearing, do i need to use that?
Or do i have to use the one ship with the kit in the V-1-R? I found the RB collar is bigger then the collar from the V-1-R kit.

I am currently using the one from the kit, after putting on the flywheel, the gap between the flywheel and the crankcase is reduced to like 2-3mm as compared to the RB cone collar which is wider.

However, the clutch bell now is a little loose (some horizontal freeplay) even i have tighten the cap screw on the shaft end.

ANy1 using the collar from the Kit, pls check your clutch bell and kindly reply.

Or should i use the RB collar?

cheers

my thinking is that the clutch bell being loose isn't related to the collet you used. I don't remember which collets I used, I usually just try different collets and shims till I get one that's about right. If your flywheel isn't touching the engine case/bearing and your gearing mesh is lined up you have nothing to worry about as far as your collet. If your clutch bell is loose, well...not sure what to do about that. It can't be that loose because the clutch is in there holding it, it shouldn't be a problem.

thanks for the pics, i can't wait to see the v one rr

RClover

Hmm...just saw ur cars..nice job...

yea, the gears mesh up and from the way i look at it, its quite okay except for the clutch bell is a little loose.
Since u r running RB X12 as well, could u check ur clutch bell?

Thnks

patelladragger

I could check my clutch bell when I get home but unless i'm missing something it doesn't really matter which engine you run. Are you running SG or standard shaft? If it's standard maybe you didn't cut enough of the shaft off? Is the clutch NUT tightened down VERY securely against the flywheel? If so and the clutch itself is not shaved or anything, you should be ok. Is this a new kit?
