XRAY - Model racing cars

The flyweight comes together as one piece. Just wanted to double check that you do cut them and they are put on flywheel as three seperate weights?

Unless Xray has changed the design of the clutch, the flyweights (which are black in colour) come as three separate items. Are you sure you are not looking at the clutch shoe which is yellow, white or possibly red?

N0, its the black shoes the other clutch shoe is red. i cut mine on the gaps and made it three seperte pieces as what i was use to using in other cars. I think it just came as one piece so they didnt get lost in the packaging?? thanks for teh help.

I think you did get a normal shoe, they do com in several materials and so colors but you mentioned gaps to cut, I have seen that before and that does sound like a flyweight.
Cutting normal shoes to the right equal size without the right tools is not easy, i made a tool for it:

I agree with Roelof - cutting shoes to make flyweights is an art. It is imperative that each flyweight is exactly the same weight otherwise it will affect the engagement of the clutch. I still don't believe Xray would give you a one piece flyweight that you need to cut into three. Puzzled!

The flyweights each had a gap between them. lik the parts u break off the trees as an example. it wasnt a solid one piece shoe. three sepereate pieces but all connected. Both me and a mate of mine ordered the nt1 wc and both of ours were liek that. he left his togetehr i cut mine we havnt run them yet, i just never seen a solid shoe at the back of the clutch before. But thansk for teh help fellas

Cut 'em... seen it before. Almost like the cutting blade hasnt gone deep enough.
I'd cut them, they are supposed to be 3 seperate pieces.

Really strange for an Xray part (s). One thing is for sure - they won't work if they are not three separate pieces as they rely on centrafugal force to slide each flyweight up the taper on the engine flywheel in order to engage the clutch shoe with the clutch bell.

Hi,

Flyweights has to be cut into three pieces. Please note that they keep together by very thin film that can be easily removed with knife. No worry it would not effect the weight of the flywheights.

Thanks for the help guys.
