I know this was done about five years ago but brother thank you so much for posting this video. I went through a set of bearings on a brand new clutch. Bill only got one run out of it, and the bearings were destroyed because it had too much play so now I know I got to buy some shims and shim it like you did to fix the problem you’re amazing bro God bless you and thank you so much for your help.

Thank you. I know it’s an older video but it pointed me in the right direction. Really appreciate you.

Great information in nitro shims are a must keep em coming!

Excellent video. Exactly what I needed. Now I feel like a pro. Cheers.

Man, you make the best videos!

Kudos. Great videos. Now I know the idea basics behind shimming. I'm getting back into nitro.

Right on bro, that’s the shit! You totally got it down! I wish I knew you, you got the knowledge! Thanks alot

Great video. I need to go back thru your library. Rebuilding my first nitro buggy.

Your vid was a big help, thanks Rajaa. ;-)

Just got a new Novarossi Bonito (21-7XLB) in from an Italian vendor. I see what you mean about the Novarossi shafts being just long enough (short). I didn’t need any shims on it. My previous Novarossi mills were a bit longer in this regard, but those old novarossis are 8-10 years old now.

Great video good job keep em coming thanks!

Great video. Is it safe to not add any shims behind the bell housing?

I'm getting it all locked in thanks bruh

You should use a metal dust cap bearing since it gets so hot there.

another great video, I just correct my clutch bell to add just alittle play

My engine came from hpi that tight

I feel like such a noob.. but, what is a collet and why/how is it used? I’m rebuilding a pretty clapped out savage x right now and the clutch pads are out and springs are broken. No shims or any hardware in sight. If you can point me in any sort of direction.. Thank!! Awesome videos man!!

A collet is use to hold the flywheel against the crank of the engine, you cannot run with out it, you best bet is to hit ebay or Facebook forums

Do I have to use special bearing oil?It is soooo expensive. What are your experience with the engine oil?

@rajaa111

4 жыл бұрын

No you don't, you can use good old 3 in 1 oil, it works just fine. Don't use anything like wd40 it's to thin, it will just wash away

Great info. I have a question if you have time. I just got a losi 1/8 buggy and picked up a new .21 Novarossi. What do you suggest for a clutch? I was looking at the nova buggy clutch. Thanks. Joe.

@rajaa111

I like the novarossi buggy clutch but i think the clutch bells are a little to thin, the reds is a great clutch and very easy to adjust. the standard losi clutch setup is nice also i just didn't like there pins that hold the shoes in. all of the clutches you can't go wrong with but I would suggest going with a 4 shoe clutch system, here's a video I did on 3 shoe vs 4 shoe clutch systems. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZaeZl5Jyncerdto.html

rajaa111 have u ever herd or seen of anyone shim before the collet ..i either had to shim befor the collet cause if i did it after the clut h my flywheel barley reaches spur gear ?? any advice

@rajaa111

3 жыл бұрын

Yes I shim sometimes before the collet if I need to move the flywheel away from the crank case, I’m not understanding what you mean by barely reaches? Either shim before the collet that will move the flywheel forward away from the crank case or try with no shims that will move the flywheel back towards the crank case

Great video👍. Are the FX engines easy to tune?
