Looky here...

Status: offline 		May I say something the reason the bells are out of round is heat it's the bell housing worst nightmare. The new one's coming out have the cooling holes in them and that makes a big diffrence. You guys had posted a picture of a HPI one and that's what the new himoto ones will be like but in the steel not that junk pot metal.

Status: offline 		Are those holes for cooling or to reduce weight?? I was under the impression that it was a weight saving maneuver. But I could be wrong.

Be sure and buy the HPI 17T racing clutch bell, and get it from Clermont (it comes with new bearings to boot) - http://www.clermontmotorsports.com/servlet/Detail?no=200

He has fast shipping and is a great guy! I highly recommend him.

Status: offline 		Ya dude, direct replacement, perfect fit, stock bearings and all. There's no need for the vented bell at all. It will just cost more and you won't see any difference.
Order a new clutch spring while you're at it. You're going to have it open anyway, and it's just a matter of time before the stock spring snaps. Why take it apart more than once? The Traxxas or MIP replacements work great - http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXUR89&P=7 Traxxas doesn't sell JUST the spring. You will need to get the package that includes the shoes too, which aren't compatible with the Redcat. You will waste over $5 that way. The stock shoes are fine, but they tend to wear seeing they're aluminum. They will probably wear quicker after you upgrade to a steel bell. Before, the aluminum bell AND the aluminum shoes would wear together.
You will also notice a good amount of top end gain with 18 teeeth. The stock bell only has 16 teeth. Two more teeth give it more top speed and doesn't sacrifice torque at all. The Volcano series was designed with a bit too much torque and not enough top end, IMO.
You will need to tweak your HSN and LSN needles all over again. The change in gearing will change the overall engine performance.
