ok im offically dumb and dont know what to do. when i was at lh the guy helped me get the stuff i need to install into my revo. he gave me a sportwerks flywheel nut and told me to cut it in half where it 'cones' so i did that and installed the flywheel. now to the clutch shoes. he told me to cut the shoes so they would fit. it seems if i cut them there would be nothing left to them.... and then when i put my clutchbell on it doesnt totally cover the clutch shoes. they stick out alot. any help would be sweet. thanks

Sounds like you need to return the flywheel, come to my house and we put on a good 1/8 clutch setup that needs no modding to get to work. Oh and couldn't you have just used all the stock stuff on it like the clutch nut?

Ohh.. Sorry read it kinda quick lol. Won't the stock nut fit on there?
Hey, what about instead of cutting the shoes, grinding the clutch nut down? Or would that mabye throw things off balance...Hmm IDK just ideas.

the stock nut is too big... i have a few spare clutches that i forgot about and i am trying some stuff with them... it also appears that im going to need to move the tranny forward a bit for clearance... the only thing that has gone right is the throttle linkage...

Shouldn't be too hard to move the tranny. Just enlongate the holes equally and hack out some of the area in front of the tranny.

John,
what Mike is talking about is like a drill bit that cuts sideways (instead of drilling strait through), just look for your dremel drill bit that looks different than normal bits, that's the one.
So where are you at with the motor install?

stock clutch works, hooks up fine, and doesn't wear out too fast. BUT I couldn't get a good setup going with it because of the different clutch nut that is needed. Also it needs major shimming, MAJOR

(this is revo2k at John's house) Well we used a really short nut (mabye 3 or 4 mm long) and that held on to the flywheel once we shimmed the flywheel forward with 4 shims. Then the stock clutch fit on there fine, and there was still plenty of shaft showing, so we shimmed alott there too. But it all works fine and dandy lol, it was running pretty hot though, first tank it hit 290. it cooled down though tank after tank. It runs about 250-260 now and is pretty darn fast. Break in is done....Plug died though. We got some more on their way though. And a shim from lh too to drop the temps down.

Traxxas Thrasher, I dont really know if you did it or not or have the TZ installed but when I had my Revo I had the TZ in it as well, I shaved off the fins on the bottom of the case with a metal nail file since it works so good and easy to control, then I used Traxxas part number 4144 (Traxxas Nitro Rustler Clutch nut adapter also 3281 Traxxas Nitro Rustler Split Cone) I had no alignment problems at all useing those parts. I dont know if your ever on the Traxxas forums but I used to be a guy on there named Tornado Racing (real name Tony Mofrey) hes the one that suggested to use these parts and was right on with them.
I just thought I would pass this little bit of info on just incase you would be able to use it.
