Zenoah clutch plate issue

[BigBasher]

Ordered a couple new clutch plates for my Zenoah 32s. Installed one and torqued to 80inlb. Could not install the clutch bell and carrier. Upon further examination I noticed both of the new clutch plates are taller. Anyone experience this issue?

at about 1:35 sounds like your problem?

@Picodogg he has zenoah clutch plates, what Steve is referring to is the difference between the zenoah and cy plates. The Op is showing a picture of a manufacturing issue with the zenoah plates.

Correct, all of my engines are Zenoah. The new clutch plate is a Zenoah part. I sent DDM an email for their input.

@BigBasher keep us posted, I'm curious what they have to say and hopefully it was a quality control issue that slipped past.

No definitive reason from DDM why the G320 clutch plate in a stock Losi 5T 2.0 is 2mm shorter than the Zenoah part. Can anyone with 5T 2.0 measure and confirm their G320 clutch plate is 18mm?

the clutch components are different dimensions for different motors, housings, hardware etc. you just need the right parts. ddm is best bet, very helpful here.
