the 13/18 bell are much better in this truck than the 17/22 or the stock one

dclintonh

yea why in the heck do they put such a hi gear in it stock anyways? what engine do you have in that one ?

ehroof

the stock .18, the original is too high geared, this bell is much better, you will see in the pictures tomorrow

Glad to hear you like the 13 and 18 clutch bell. I told you it had sick low end. You have it on the tsunami right? Just imagine it on the buggy. FONG[8D]

Actually I did have it happen on the road. My dad said I hit a rock LOL but then it did it on the way back. It only happened 3 times. In the grass and in the dirt this thing is awesome also. I do need to get some good tires on it , now with all the low end power. It spins real easy.

eroof, could you please post the order you have the bearing / bushing / washers in. I pick my bushings up Monday.Can't wait, I already have the bell/ bearing and lots of the washers hopfully I don't break anything this weekend . Thanks

ehroof

i used 3- 5x8x2.5 bearings instead of the needle bearing. It goes in this order, washer, bushing, needle bearing, bushing, washer lock washer screw. You will need to pick up a 3/16 tension pin and cut it down to size (like 1/4 inch) to extend the where the screw goes in past the clutch bell. Home depot or any hardware will have the tension pin, you may need a longer screw too.

I did the same thing as Ehroof. I used 3 bearings instead of the needle bearing. I also used the tension pin. I used in order washer 3 bearings, big washer that came with the needle bearing, small washer that came with the stock bell, tension pin, then Allen screw. I didn't use the small lock washer that came with the stock clutch bell. Just because the Allen screw was not long enough to use the lock washer. I also put blue locktite on the Allen screw. Hope this helps.

I used the 3 bearings because the bushings seem to be a little too tight inside the clutch bell and I could not get it to spin freely. But you might be able to get them to work for yourself. I picked up 12 of those washers at my lhs for 14 bucks.



The damn hobbytown USA people tried to sell me 2 bearings for 6.99 I said no way. I told them that , I knew they had a lot cheaper ones, and then they said, you mean these. Again I hate Hobby Town USA[:@] Anyway get this 13 and 18 to work and you will love it.


This is the bearing I bought. Duratrax
