I was at the track today with my Mayhem; what a PITA that buggy can be sometimes! So, my clutch-bell assembly is making a horrid noise and it makes idling the buggy a pain today. Anyway, I get home to check it out.
Turns out that one of the pins in the fly wheel was working free and it was rubbing on my clutch bell. And, because of that, the errant pin also mis-aligned my clutch shoes and they rubbed on their sides on the clutch bell. It also turns out that I hadn't put enough spacers between the flywheel nut and the inner bearing of the clutch bell which helped it to rub on the shoes and errant fly wheel pin.
It was kind of embarrasing that my buggy was making such a horrid noise during practice; it ran though and so I ran it that way for 2 1/2 hours. I kept making excuses like "clutch bearing gone; I'll replace it when I get home..." type stuff.
Thought I'd share...
Oh...w/ my nomadio sensor; the guys like it because of the telemetry it has; especially the temperature read-out. What a cool radio. And, it's freakin hot in Vegas right now
