Volcano STX with VX engine
It has probably been covered here before but Iwill restate it since it could be a safety issue.
Today Iwas 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 Iwasnt in the way of the schrapnel and nothing was damaged. Take heed.

RE: Volcano STX with VX engine
That was upgraded years ago, we found out thats why they were eating up spur gears like crazy. I had one come apart on me too but nothing dangerous, happened when i was running it.
