You are using the LOSI provided collet right and NOT the OS one right ??

As that is very likely your problem if thats the case and no matter how tight you do it up or how much locite you use, it wont be right without a LOSI collet.

Again sorry if this has been covered , seemed to obvious

Yea i used the losi collett i just dident tighten it enough the first time around, after rebuilding the clutch today and letting the thread lock cure ive taken it for a short run and it looks like its going to be ok but im going to take it to the local sports oval tomorrow and really open it up and see if it holds. I don't know if ive damaged the collet to much or not, hence all the brass metal shavings in my prior post but i will have to wait and see tomorrow.

cheers.
