Status: offline 		It has probably been covered here before but I will restate it since it could be a safety issue.
Today I was tuning up a Volcano STX and noticed the clutch bell was out of shape, turns out they were made from aluminum and they egg out easily. There is a steel replacement available for cheap and its an easy fix. $7.99
Back to my point, during the tune up procedure the clutch bell exploded, luckily I wasnt in the way of the schrapnel and nothing was damaged. Take heed.
