i have the stock clutch bell, but a picture of one can be found here - http://www.redcatracing.com/itemdeta...artno=8300811t
the piece just slips on and off the engine assembly, and inside i can see the bearings and a rod...how is this supposed to stay securely in place?

the only thing that keeps it from falling completely off is the gas tank, but if i remove the engine, i can just pull it off...if i push it on there real good, it will be semi-secure, but since it turns at a high rpm, shouldn't it be held in place by something more?

Dude, you are missing the screw that holds it on. Screws into the center of the gear part of the clutch bell.

there's a hex screw in the center, feels like it's attached to the flywheel, turns when the flywheel turns, but it doesn't hold the clutch bell in place...if i take the clutch bell off, it slides right over that hex screw

You need to add a washer. I have told redcat about this.

how do i add a washer? i can't remove that screw while i hold the flywheel in place...it's either really tight or there's no way to remove it...if i go in through the back where the pull start is, i take out screws until i get to the piston, and i can't go any further...

do i need to clamp the flywheel in place and turn that screw as hard as i can to dislodge it?

you should be able to hold the flywheel in place, and turn the screw out with the right allen wrench.

i couldnt get my screw off to take my clutch bell off so i ended up putting the screw in the vice and gettin it real tight and then twisting the engine. i couldnt get it off the the hex wrench thing or pliers or anything but the vice

Wow. That seems awful tight. My tsunami bell comes off with very little effort. I hold the fly wheel with one hand and hex key in the other.

can someone tell me the order of the washers and bearings for the clutch bell on this SH .28 engine...when it came off, everything fell out...so here's what i think it looked like

hex screw, small washer, long plastic dealy, clutch bell, big bearing, small bearing, big bearing, small washer, small washer, large washer

is this correct?

Pic 4 points to the Nut that secures the flywheel. (sorry, I didnt feel like taking the clutch shoes off)

yes sinfony, you are correct with the order you got. Sometimes you have to mess with the shims. Just make sure when you tighten the screw tight, the clutchbell still spins free.
