The clutch on GT for the most part does not use a spring. What type of engine did you get?

It is an os max 12 cv here is a pic of it     http://s865.photobucket.com/albums/a...g&newest=1

hey freddy g 772 ,
just so ya know .
there is a whole section for stadium trucks , if you post there you would probably
get more reply's .
my gt10 has no springs on it from what i remember (been a while since i been in the clutch)
all other of my nitro's do though!!

So the two little white clutch shoes just slide in no springs? and is there some sort of drive gear that goes on before the flywheel? Thanks a bunch for all the help!

rcslsafut

no drive gear , the flywheel usually has a tapered collar
that holds it onto the crankshaft, first the tapered collar then
the nut that has the bearing shank on it holds on the flywheel.
from the way i remember the shoes have no srpings on them ,
then goes the clutch bell, and the snap ring ,or some have a bolt
to hold it all together. if the shoes do accept a spring ,they will have
a groove through the middle of them . some have a little spring that
goes on the shaft that the shoes go on .but either way it would be
evident that there should be a spring.

YEP I have it all THANKSSOOOOMUCH!!!!!

FreDDyG722

Thanks again but do you think the motor i bought will be a good match?

rcslsafut

that should be a good one .
i have the os .12 cvr , it will burn off the tires no matter where
i drive it . it is easy to tune ,and fun to drive (when you can control it)

Is there supposed to be a throttle return spring?

I have the same little engine. It is a little power house. This one is old and tired and has seen better days. Here are some tips for ya. Follow the pics. Good Luck.





Make sure you use Blue LocTite on the nut and a C clip to hold the clutch bell in place.
