I have an mbx5t running with a Novarossi 528x I keep blowing clutch bearings like nothing (every 2 runs) I replaced clutchbell, motor mount, re aligned motor many times.. I dont want to give up on nitro please help.

Do you have a vented bell, shimmed correctly,what springs and clutch are you running?

A lot of Mugen drivers have the same problem...I did. Maybe an aftermarket clutch setup is the answer? I don't know and gave up. My Mugen is electric now...and I'm happy.

what gearing and clutch are you running ? as well what motor mount are you using ?

im using the stock mugen mount with a losi 427 and a losi clutch and a friend let me use a fioroni one and it didnt help at all and now im gonna try a brand new losi clutch. i kept thinking it was my engine

im really not sure do you know what i should be using,, Its a 13t CB Vented Iv played around with shims,,, and its stock mount ,, I have a aluminum clutch but dont know the springs im running a novarossi 528x its a .28

you'll want to run the softest spring's you can find......9's preferably .28's dont need any help on the bottom end with stall....All you will be doing is slipping the shoes...heating up the clutch...and failing the bearings'......proper stall is key for keeping the clutch cool.

get a new clutch bell.....chances are your bell is worn out and allowing the outer race of the bearings to spin...
