Default What the heck happened

I was driving my car on my street and suddenly it makes a hard left under my neighbor's car. I replaced the reciever and transmitter batteries and it is still glitching wildly. It seems to relate to revving the engine. What the heck is going on?

oohhh oohh!! I know! I know!! Check your clutchbell for burn marks, bluing and/or warping!! It was just recently proved that a worn/warped clutch bell can give off a mechanical frequency that will interfer with your radio.

Anyone else wanna chim in on this one?? Nomobux, HarelyGal?? anyone?? CEN??

oh btw what car/truck??

Wow, that is cool and makes sense. My clutch bell is blue maybe warped. If I have metal clutch shoes? I hear a rusty nail on a file will disrupt anything using radio waves.

CEN's clutch bells are double other manufacturers. Is there one that works as well? Was that the life of the clutch bell? Hard to believe they only last 3 months.

I personally like to use Racer's Edge vented clutch bells on my Matrix and Tr Arena. You can find them for $10.00 to 12.00 depending on tooth count.

The stock bell for my SH 28 was 13T. I bought the racers edge on amainhobbies. I will let you know how it works.

On another note:
Seems like CEN is not actively involved in this forum. I haven't seen a post from them in more than a week.

The racers edge bell is smaller and shallower so I will need different brakes shoes. Do you also run a different flywheel?

My bad I should have mentioned that I use a Mugen flywheel. I put a Racer's Edge 15t clutch bell on the cen flywheel without any problems. I just had to use shims.

Still glitchig. I traced the fault. The brakes were wearing away the wire to my steering servo. I fixed it and its ok.
