You should be using the .18 TZ with the crank that has the built-in pilot shaft. You should also be using Centax clutch, which comes with the NTC3. That combination works. But it may depend upon which version of the car you got, whether it's the ready-to-run or the race version. They are different.

its the RTR plus... see the SG shaft that came with the .18 TZ didn't have a pullstart nipple on it... so I put a .18 TM shaft in and now theres a pullstart on it... but the clutch nut doesn't fit... and I have the .18 TX short shaft and the NTC3 short shaft clutch nut doesn't fit neither... so anyway theres no way to run my car with that engine... and I need a pullstart because the engine is very hard to pump... the cyll shaft that hooks to the TZ SG shaft, TZ shoft shaft, and the TM SG shaft...

If you want to use an engine with a pull start, then you'll need to get a clutch that fits the engine. You'll have to contact the car maker for information on that...to see which of their clutches will work.
