Clutch bell bearings

[leaNMachine]

ok so the prob is that every once in a while my e clip on my clutch nut expands and i lose one of my fifteen dallors bearing,I tried patriot rc beraring with about 1 tank and they fall to peaces,I need a heavy duty 3/16x5/16 flanged bearing that is goin to make me not want to sell my truck anymore beacuse there so exspensive!!

Avid Bearings.... $1 each ;-)

Instead of going the e clip (and losing it) route, the shaft is threaded (3mm id) just like most every other engine. You can always junk the e clip and hold the bearing in place with a 3mm screw and a shim or two as required.

+1 That is the only way i do it... just make sure to use blue lock tight.

I've been using the same clutch bell bearings for 2 gallons now. I just changed them out, mostly because I couldn't believe they lasted 2 gallons ;-) A lot of guys at the track just buy a sleeve at a time and replace em every weekend. At $1 each...it's hard to beat. I replaced all the bearings in my Truggy (every single one of them) for like $27.

yeah i bought 20 which is like nothing since one set is 15 plus tax,and for ppl who dont know 2 gallons is a long way for the bearings from high abuse of the engine,but anyway thanx alot for the link,saved my life!!!
