MUGEN MTX-5 Clutch Bell by Arrowmax AM-MTX-T2716  [AM-MTX-T2716]

Clutch bell for MTX-5

This Arrowmax AM-MTX-T2716 clutch bell is an RC-scale accessory specified for the MUGEN MTX-5 platform. It serves the basic mechanical role of transferring rotational motion from the engine side of the clutch to the drivetrain, and is intended for model-level maintenance and setup rather than any full-scale application.

In practical terms the part is used to influence clutch engagement characteristics and rotating mass. When fitting to an MTX-5 layout, observe alignment with the clutch shoes and clearances to the spur gear to avoid rubbing. The component’s mass and surface finish can affect engagement RPM and heat transfer, so it is used as one of several tuning variables alongside clutch springs and shoe weights.

Routine inspection for wear, burrs, and runout is recommended after break-in or heavy use. Replace if grooves or deformities appear that could alter engagement or introduce vibration. This description focuses on compatibility and setup considerations relevant to 1/8 nitro track and club-level tuning.
