Step 5. Attach both of the clutch springs (142) to the
clutch shoes (143) as shown. The easiest way to do this is to
attach the first spring (142) to both shoes. Once the first spring
(142} is attached to both shoes (143}, attach one side of the
second spring (142} to one of the shoes (143). Now, attach
the remaining end to the second shoe (143}.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure that the clutch
shoes are facing the correct direction as illustrated.
~
LIGHTLY sanding the surface of the clutch shoes
can improve their performance. Sand the shoes using a 400
grit, or finer sandpaper. Sand the shoe surface length wise,
not across the shoe sideways. DO NOT use a sanding block,
or lay the sandpaper on a flat surface. Too much sanding may
cause flat spots to develop on the shoes.

Step 6. Slide the clutch shoe assembly over the clutch
nut (141), spring side first. Place each shoe (143} over a clutch
pin (137) and slide the shoes (143} all the way against the
flywheel (138}. In order for the shoes (143) to slide over the
clutch nut (141), they will have to be pulled apart slightly,
stretching the springs (142).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure that the clutch
shoes are facing the correct direction as illustrated.

Step 7. Insert a 1 /4" x 3/8" clutch bearing (144) [1 /4" x 3/
8" bushing (145) if assembling kit# A-0951] into each side of
the clutch bell (146).
Step 8. Slide the clutch bell (146) over the clutch nut
(141) so that the gear faces out. Push the clutch bell (146} all
the way against the clutch assembly.
Step 9. Place the clutch spacer (14 7) over the clutch nut
(141) and against the clutch bell (146). Secure the assembly
by pushing the 1 /4" clutch nut clip (148) over the end of the
clutch nut (141) and into the groove in the clutch nut (141 ).

IMPORTANT NOTE: The bearings used in the clutch
contain a special grease that does not migrate. It is important
that these bearings only be replaced with Team Losi's replace-
ment clutch bearings. It is also important not to oil the bear-
ings in the clutch. Any oil that is put on the bearings can find
its way into the clutch assembly and cause the clutch to slip.
