Yes it will, but you will have to move the engine back a little the Ofna bell is much bigger than the HPI. Kyosho also makes a 3 shoe flywheel that is thinner than the Ofna uses the same shoes. No mods needed for Kyosho.

Sorry, it's the Mugen that is smaller not the Kyosho.
Complete flywheel is not instock at tower but they do have the pieces. It will cost about $4 more than buying the set. Here are the links.
Mugen parts
Ofna clutchbells (almost to the bottom)
Tower does not carry any aluminum clutch shoes. If you really want your clutch to grab and launch hard get aluminum clutch shoes. Search ebay for "aluminum clutch" they are $24.95 list and come with 2 sets of springs.

Hey, not to sound like a know it all, but here is a link to the aluminum clutch shoes I use in my Savage that I bought from Tower Hobbies. They don't have the springs in stock, but I just use a set I had from another 3 shoe designs.
These shoes rock!

Also, when Tower receives the following flywheel, it's mine !

I'm sure it will cause some drag, but I doubt it would be noticeable.
It will however get a little air flowing over the engine where there wasn't any before, like while in idle while tuning etc.
My heli motor runs a large fan on the flywheel to help with temp problems. Granted, the heli motors don't rev like the Savage.
