Aaaaand...I need a new clutch-bell

[Doginjeep]

When Jamracing1 says you should probably use a hardened clutch-bell, he's right. I actually have one, but it's on another Savage. I tried to get in a test run on this stock bell, but guess what? When your receiver pack dies and your fail-safe isn't set properly, you'll rip up a clutch-bell.

NEENER NEENER !!!! looks like that spur is a lil worse for wear also Dog damn nice work on the bell tho

Yeah that spur gear was like that from the po. When I got the truck, the motor mount looked mis-aligned. The wear pattern hasn't changed since I've had it. Been using it on the other truck for a few tanks.

The @Killer RC nitro kill switch would make a great addition in the event of a dead battery. 😉

Time for a Robinson Racing clutch bell/ spur gear combo. 🙂

Robinson bells arent as hard as you might think. Get an Ofna hardened. Best on the market IMO

Never had an issue with my Robinson gears. But if ofna indeed makes a better product, thanks for the suggestion.

Too late, ordered a RR from the LHS. Thanks for all the input people.

Ofna is vented also. Helps the clutch stay a bit cooler.

I'll remember that for next time. I might change up the gear ratios in a while

Anybody see a problem with the alignment? The spur is making contact at the edge of the CB gears, I don't know what else I can do with the hardware to correct it.

need a better pic of the engine mount to see wtf is goin on there dog

have ya checked that plate for a crack, that will cause misalignment like that

 

[Doginjeep]

I check the mount to be square every time I re-install it. I don't think its because of anything I've done. You can see the wearing on the spur, it's from the previous owner. What I'm concerned about is the front to back positioning of the motor so that the spur can make contact at the middle of the CB, not at one side like it was. The plate doesn't allow for that adjustment. I can't get the CB any further onto the crank shaft. What should I do?

It's not cracked. All the screws are there. 😕

It should definitely be better centered on the clutch bell. Can you take some more pictures showing the area? Maybe we'll see whats causing it to seat so far forward.

Thanks Grumpy, I'll see if my new CB lines up right before I buy that though. Good looking product.
