Both of my nx-76 engines uses a screw at the end of the crank to hold the clutch bell on the crank.

Great, that's what I was hoping. I should be able to heat the end of the crank and get that messed up screw out, then.

I'm going to try mounting this engine in a truggy that was built on an Ofna 9.5 Violator chassis. With the extra torque and power of the .46 engine, I'm thinking I should be able to turn a 20-tooth clutch bell with no problem. As to whether the the extra power will offset the increased weight of the bigger engine, we'll see...

well good luck, ive never had many problems with the engine. Just that it's not the greatest performer but has alot of low end torque

The broken screw came out with just a little heat, looks like it was installed with blue thread locker.
