CLUTCH Problem - Please help

[adrezs69]

Hi,
I have a Kyosho V-one SII which I purchased used.
The Problem:
I have only gotten to the point where I can start and run the motor, which seems to go OK.
While the motor is running at even idle speed, the wheels are spinning, as soon as I grab the wheels or put the car on the ground the motor just stops.
So I pulled the motor out and tried to spin the clutch bell it was really tight. So I loosened the allen screw that holds the clutch bell on, took the bell off and looked at the shoes. Not knowing what normal clutch shoes should look like, they looked normal ?. I sanded down the inside of the clutch bell also. I re-installed the clutch bell and it was spinning freely now, tightened the allen screw.
Re-installed the motor, and the same problem as before.
I assume it is the clutch grabbing or jamming or something.

PLEASE SOMEONE help.

Thanks

Sounds like either the springs on the shoes are dead (lost their springyness), your idle is to high, your cb bearings are shot or you need to work on shimming your bell. It should have about .5mm of slop when it's tighted down when you push/pull on the bell itself.

It should spin smoothly without any drag when the engine is off.

Yeah what olds said.

That happend to me on my savage. I played around with the throttle linkage and the idle setting forever before i realized it could be the springs. But like olds said..it could be other factors too. Theres nothing that a little bit of time of doing some process of elimination can't figure out.


if u need more help..just ask.

Thanks all for the suggestions, well upon looking at it the bell was NOT spinning independant of the flywheel / motor.
Opened her up to find stuffed clutch shoes.

Replaced clutch shoe, for a midrange not standard one.

Works great now ....

Thanks
