IMPORTANT NOTE: The clutch shoes may come in a single
piece, and must be completely separated to operate properly. Bend
the shoes along the cut and pull the two halves apart.
!
Step 5. Hook the two ends of the clutch spring (156) together to
form a loop as shown. Stretch the looped spring (156) over the two
clutch shoes (157) so that the clutch shoes (157) form a circle. Make
sure that the holes in the clutch shoes are on opposite sides of the
!
circle as shown
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 lengthwise, not across the
shoe sideways. DO NOT use a sanding block, or lay the sandpa-
per 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
(155). Place each shoe (157) over a clutch pin (151) and slide the
shoes (157) all the way against the flywheel (152). In order for the
shoes (157) to slide over the clutch nut (155), they will have to be
pulled apart slightly, stretching the springs (156).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure that the clutch shoes
are facing the correct direction as illustrated. Position the clutch
so that the shoes are separated one on top, one on bottom. The
top clutch shoe should be attached to the pin at the left side of the
flywheel, as shown in Figure 75, when looking at the engine from
the front.

Step 7. Insert a 1/4" x 3/8" clutch
bearing (158) into each side of the clutch bell (159).
!
Step 8. Slide the clutch bell (159) over the clutch nut (151) so that
the gear faces out. Push the clutch bell (159) all the way against the
clutch assembly.
!
Step 9. Place the clutch spacer (160) over the clutch nut (151)
and against the clutch bell (159). Secure the assembly by pushing
the 1/4" clutch nut clip (161) over the end of the clutch nut (151)
and into the groove in the clutch nut (151).
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 replacement
clutch bearings. It is also important not to oil the bearings 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.
