Do you have any shims on the shaft before the first CB bearing?
Yes, there's one spacer before the first CB bearing. Plus there's a brass spacer after the 2nd CB bearing. I've even updated to the new style spacer. Which is the black style. Since my Savage was the 25 RTR version, it had the brass style. My friends 4.6x Savage has the black style spacer. I've enclosed 2 pictures below. I've used both styles. But still hasn't fixed the problem. I'm using the purple aluminum 3 clutch shoes by HPI. I've also tried the Jammin aluminum red 3 clutch shoes too. I thought the same thing when I saw the distance between the clutch bell and the flywheel. I can almost see the clutch shoes peaking through. I tried removing the spacer (its the HP part number Z694. Which is 5x10x0.5mm thick) But when I do, the clutch bell bottoms out on the crankshaft.
Here's the brass style. Part number 86121.
Here's the newer black style spacer. Part number 86171
