SORRY FOR LENGTH OF POST (i wrote this in after)

thanks and des, I'm almost embarassed to say I never thought of that, but with all my stupid questions I guess you guys already figured out I wasn't a pro, If I fooled anyone to think that then my next questions will surely help you kow:

First since I think this mught be most important, Are you supose to grease or lube or do anything with any bearings. Off the top of my head I have the (might not bw proper names) bearing coming off motor behind flywheel, might be a front bearing or something, the 4 for the spur and center dogbones, then 8 on the dogbones for wheels, the one way bearing and the needle bearing. I'm upgrading the needle bearing, do I need to replace or upgrade the others, I'm just bashing the truck, but I'm starting some friendly races which could lead to more racing so I'd like to get it done and done right. basically I don't know much about bearing except the mechanics of them.

What about clutchbell, I know the larger the more teeth on the spur the more torque, and I don't know if I'm still feeling last nights whiskey but is it the opposite for clutch, I think my head is too cloudy to figure it out.

46u are you sure the cheaper ones will work, I'm all about saving money if possible but I don't mind spend $10 extra if there worth it for what ever reason. Does your clutchbell have any play or is it tight? Basically I want to make sure I order all parts I need to get this thing set up good once and for all and since I don't have the parts already I don't know the measurements will the 4mm thickness work OK or will I have to add extra washers? For somereason I thought I remember the clucth opening was 5mm, but it's possible I might have been looking at the wrong thing. 7-8 tall jim and gingerales at 2 am and ordering parts for your rc car don't mix too well.

sim- No and yes on the build. I original got a MT2 rtr it was first rc in 15 years from the old hornets, tycos, and king cab. Anyways I blew stock motor somehow while breaking in, I think I flooded it too many times and got a hydro lock. I bought the
os .18 but still had no idea how to run them right, That's when someone told me when you start truck you kept the glow plug igniter on plug. I always took it off immediately or I thought I'd burn the thing out. Anyways for the first half of tank I kept igniter on it and after that it ran fine. Also before I even bought truck I was on this site finding out parts that break and buying them on ebay, I bought a few alloy parts and tons of spares. Then I kept stripping spurs so I started taking the whole thing apart and figuring how everything works. I used to run a chemical plant so I know a lot about mechanical issues. Anyways I figure I'm close to be done with car. I have no desire to add any more metal. the only things I need are a lighter flywheel, racing clutch, maybe metal spur. and then install all the parts to upgrade to the ss version I have left. I haven't installed the heavy duty drive shaft stuff yet as my stock are fine. plus I have two sets of cheap stock rtr ones and I don't have the heavy duty diffs. I have the stock ones and two spares. anyways time to rap this up so someone can help me out sorry for length, but unfortunately atleast I know one guy will be sitting in front of his TV watching a 3 hour race. I will be too (nascar though) actually I'm going to record it on tive and start watching it later.
