thanks for the thought mate, but no, i left a tiny bit of play in the bell. its the first time that i have used plastic sealed bearings in the clutch - they came with the bell, and i was told that they would be fine with my setup by the people i got them from. steel sealed bearings have been my choice in previous runs with no probs.

nearly there then mate with ur shafts! u are running 17mm hexes i guess? i realise u will be trying the buggy wheels first, but do the 17s leave many mt wheels available that will work? or do u just want rid of the romulins adapters? hmm that would make sense i guess...

as for tyres, i really cant fault the brick pins, but then they are all i have run in an mt setup on this truck. they are wearing very well tho, better than any of my rally tyres.

good luck with the parts rolland!
