"c" clip in the clutch.
 

ok i got my new rims and tires today. i got 4 moabs, ( iwanted something better but got them off a buddy for $20). and i got 4 hpi gun metal grey 5 spoke wide rims. i took the volcano out for a rip. figured the weather was nice so i ran it a little while. it was goin great until i broke the c clip inside the clutch bell. is that common to break? do i need to get a special clip or do most hardware stores have them? oh yea i got those hpi rims from a guy that cleared out the rest of the rc stuff he had for 10 bucks. i'll get some pics up tomorrow.

i think you could find that e clip in a hardware store, give it a shot, i never heard of anyone else having one break.

i guess that makes me special. ( no not back of the little short bus special) lol. what does that clip do? does it hold the shoes back on the flywheel?

holds the clutch from hitting the flywheel.

same thing happend o my tornado right after i got it. i thought it was a bad clutch bearing at first but it was a broken c clip. i just went to the auto parts store in town and got one that was the same size.
