When you finish assembling to check for play rap the clutch bell towards the engine with a screwdriver handle..piece of wood etc. and see if the play increases. Sometimes the entire assembly needs to be seated first. We have seen this numerous times with the Losi.
Peter knows what hes talking about. His Special bearings are worth their weight in gold. The TKO bearings last longer then clutch shoes. If you can, pick up a tube of both the front and rear. Youll never buy bearings again.

5x10x4 TKO Special Front Bearing

5x13x4 TKO Special Rear Bearing

Just make sure you put the blue seals facing each other
