Thanks bud... found the bearings on Redcat Racing and other sites but not on Team Eddy..... appreciate your help though... wonder if I can find it on Team Eddy's site?
 
My XB is down cause I have not ordered a new clutch bell and new bearings for it for confirmation testing. Why haven't I ordered them? Waiting on Demon's two speed...... WHEN WILL YOU BE READY TO SELL DEMON AND HOW MUCH? :D

Didn't want to invest into troubleshooting, replacing clutch and bearings because I'll rather add that money to the 2 speed :D Rcdad... so you agree with me that it could be my crank bearings... and for sure my clutch bell bearings? Not sure if you remember my original problem :D

Fast Eddie has a lot of bearings, I'm sure he has the sizes you need, and at a buck a bearing its so worth it

If your clutch bell rubbed when the engine is off then its most likely a bent clutch shaft, clutch bearing or an out of round clutch bell. However if you were breaking clutch plates, you may have damaged a crank bearing. The 2 speed kit for the 5ive does not come with the clutch or shaft bearings. So you might need them anyways.
 
I'm going to try one of the RB Innovations finned clutch plates. Looks strong and its supposed to cool the clutch. We'll see.......

That's no too bad if it fixes you issue. Beats an engine tare down in my book. ;)

I don't mind tearing engine... but don't want to if I don't have to. If cracking the engine open is require, I may have to replace my crank bearings in the engine too :D Just taking the engine parts means I will have to look for any other potential failure that may need replacing. This will cost more $$$$ :(
