RE: flywheel
uhhhhh, carbon fiber? tht would not provide enough mass to keep the engige running evenly at all. i dont know what would fit a wask 28 but stay away from carbon fiber. do they even make carbon fiber flywheels?
but have any ideas on a good one for the wasp anybody?[&:]

RE: flywheel
Flywheel diameter depends on your engine mounts. If you have tall mounts for a pull start engine, you will need a large diameter flywheel to reach down far enough to use a bumbox. If you have short mounts, you will need a small diameter flywheel. If you use a large diameter flywheel with short mounts, the wheel will hit on the chassis slot. If you grind the slot out it will then hit the ground every time you land a jump and kill your engine. The safest way to go is to use whatever flywheel came with your truck.
Once you get the right diameter, you will then need to make sure the clutch shoe pins are correct for the shoes you are using as not all these pins are the same. You can wind up with a flywheel that fits your engine/chassis that won't accept your clutch shoes.
