yes the crappy washer that goes on the outside of the bushing is no good. Take off the clutchbell, take out one of the 2 shims behind the last bearing, (so the spacer is sticking out a hair past the end of the clutchbell) then install a new washer and screw and tighten all the way down so the washer is just about touching the clutchbell. If it tightens to much take out another shim. You want the screw all the way tight but not so the clutchbell wont spin. Just did it to an avalanche today. same thing happened.

I am pretty sure I understand what you are talking about, but having a pic just clarifies it so much that way I know I don't mess anything up.

I just put on the 12 tooth clutch bell and was wondering if I should have used lock tite on the screw that holds on the clutch bell and how tight should I have tightened that screw?

yes, blue loctite, be careful not to get any on the bearing and it should be tight!!

Out of the Box......
1) 10 tooth,,,,You will want the 12 tooth to Race.
2)Aluminum Pipe (s'posed to be tuned....LOL).....Upgrade it for the Track....
3) Silicone in the diffs.....

my motor has lost pinch for the second time, temps at hottest point were 285 usually run about 245. just had motor re-pinched by someone at local track and have been throuth 5 tanks to do second break in and temps never went above 240 and have totally lost pinch again on my sh 28 p3. could a bad or dirty one way bearing do this? would a bad or dirty one way bearing cause any loss of power?

Are you losing your pinch when you check it all warmed up? If so the SH.28 will lose alot of pinch when warm. After it cools down it should be ok.

PINCH IS GONE EVEN WHEN NO USE FOR DAYS, HOURS, OR ANYTIME. I HAVE ANOTHER SH28 WHICH IS ABOUT 3 MONTHS OLD IN MY HURRICANE PRO, COMPARED TO THIS MOTOR WHICH IS ABOUT 1 MONTH OLD AND I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH MY OTHER SH28.

to change over to pbs you need to get upper arms, lower arms, the pbs hubs, and the balls. if you use parts from a team vtx truggy it's a direct fit. your axals and wheel nuts will fit right to gether with the vtx parts. go to highbanksrc to find the parts but make sure the parts are for the truggy and not the buggy. these are the parts i did mine with and it works great.
