I've read in one thread that also had the forward clutch bearing recessed ~0.65mm and that putting a washer behind the collet and the OWB would help.

Just in case my explanation isn't good enough.

Is there a flywheel/collet setup I can use with my clutchbell where this won't be an issue?

Thanks ahead of time.

See attached pic.
- losi collet/flywheel are fine, you will always need to run the losi collet if you're running a losi clutch setup
- see the clutch spacer in the picture - you need this, it's not just a washer
- use a flat head screw like in the picture, using a cap head screw can potentially wear against the losi fuel tank
- if you do all of the above, add shims behind the bell to get it to clear the flywheel, and in front of the bell to get .25 to .50mm play.

The part numbers are on the picture as well if you need these parts, this kit is handy to have...
