I'm putting the hpi clutch bell on and noticed some play, up & down ( with motor sitting on the pullstart ) is this normal. I tried relocating the shims but no differance.
I also got the 13/ 18 clutchbell which is supposed to fit but the bearings don,t fit into it.

Thanks ehroof. You should post that with the 13/18 upgrade in the Tornado thread.
What about the play in the clucthbell ? ( thats with the other clutch up grade ) . OH ya this is on the tsunami, i think you told me they are the same though .

dude i wish you would have posted that in the top of the tornado thead, i spent all day makeing a bushing to try my new 13/18 tooth bell out.

i got it to work but i need that needle bearing for it to be right.

i will say that is what this car should have came with in the 1st place, its alsome!

and the new clutch bell does nt match up to wore sper gears to good either.

id say get some of those too.

i guess the needle bearing is probly lost in the posts on that thread but i just read the top.
bummer.

ehroof

sorry guys, but you cant beat the power that bell gives you, not crazy top end but gobs of power.

yea it is really quick, im just gonna get that from hobby usa, they wont charge shipping. there really is no reason for the bigger gears IMO. i bet with an O.S. engine it would really be somthing.

Can't wait to get the bearing, sounds great. I think i will feel the same way about the lower gearing. Does it shift well ?
