Nitro tc3/ jlr red dot evo3 help
 

Hey guys, I bought a used ntc3 for really cheap, came with a slow Rb.12 engine, I want to put my jlr evo 3 red dot in the car it fits got the right collet but now my flange bearing doesn't fit the SG shaft- what flange bearing size should I get ?? Or what are my other options ?

Yep... other options would be to get a newer car that has parts support and people can assist with setup help.

Or if you really want to persist with the Nitro TC3 get a different rear exhaust motor (Not Picco based) like an OS or a Novarossi.

A Main Hobbies have a Novarossi 353 at a good price at the moment, or get a OS from Tower hobbies.

the ntc clutch does not fit the sg shaft ae had you cut the shaft and use there adapter nut but i believe vbx had a bearing to fit

Once you have the right ofna collet, everything else fits with shimming....

i just dont want to buy an new engine, my red dot was briefly used and has been stored for the past few months. i have the ofna collet and the shim kit but the flange bearing inside diameter is to small to fit over the SG shaft.

i used to run an sg shaft engine (rossi pixi black) in my nitro tc3. ill see if i can dig up what i used for bearings.

the bearings for the tc3 clutch bell should be 5x10 unflanged, 5x9 flanged. all sg cranks are the same dimension.

Okay sweet thanks so much I guess the previous owner just through what ever on the car,

Bearings not fitting is new to me ! All my clutch Bearings seem to fit nicely in my jlr . 12 tuned... Good luck with it,, but I think a new clutch bearing kit might do the trick......

I'm getting the clutch bearing kit - ingot a hold a the guy who owned it before he got a bearing that just fit in the clutch bell and shimmed it about would work- rookies- do it right the first time ugh, now it's done right thanks guys

Re...Ntcs
 

Is the Associated NTC3 still available new????

i think you can still buy the rtr version, but i havent seen the factory team version listed anywhere for a while.
