That's what would be called a mis-pick. Somehow that two-spped clutchbell got put in a bag labeled as a traxxas clutch. I would think that someone at Tower would have noticed that, but who knows. Perhaps their stockhouse is automated.

Now the question is do you send it back to Tower becuase it's not what you ordered. Or do you send it to MIP for mislabling it. I would Probably call Tower first, they should help you even though it's not (entirely) their fault.

Yeah, it kind of looks like the clutch bell for an NTC3 or something. I called Tower and they told me to just keep it and they'd check to make sure all of the packages aren't mislabeled and they'd send me the right one. This wouldn't be the first time they messed up. One time they sent me 240 dollars worth of radio gear when I ordered 20 dollars in tires.

Haha.. Sounds like this one time I ordered a roto start backplate for my Collari .30, and they sent me the whole motor[sm=lol.gif] It was even better when I looked at the label and it said roto start back plate.. So I ended up paying $60 for a whole new motor!

Yeah, was a sweet deal indeed...240 dollars of metal geared servos. And no, I didn't get the tires, and didn't care.
