About this part

I bought this to replace my Protek 13T clutch bell that lasted me over two years of hardcore driving. Now that I am getting my truggy decked out for my son to race I am replacing everything that is needed. Don't get me wrong, the protek clutch bell worked great, but I have had some of the best results with the 14T Reds Durabell I have on my TLR buggy.
I have all four of my TLR vehicles 2 buggy and 2 truggy with 14T Reds Clutch bells. These are extremely durable and ready for any and all abuse you can throw at them. Paired up with Reds clutch bearings and the tetra 34mm clutch I felt like I owned the track.
Has a nice chromed looking. Unfortunately it didnt work out of the pack, I had to add a ton of 0.2mm shims to get some clearance from the bottom of the bell to the flywheel. I didt feel comfortable with that and returned to the bell that was included with the kit. Not sure if this is really intended for tekno NB 48 2.1.
I bought both 13 and 14 tooth to go with my buku clutch the quality looks great and u can tell by its colour they used either a different coating or steel to make it stronger
Looks great and the material they use u can tell is different then the tekno or tlr brands can't wait to use it with my buku clutch DEF A GOOD INVESTMENT
Reviewers generally rate the REDS Durabell clutch bell highly, with the 14T variant praised for durability and use in multiple TLR vehicles. Several reviewers note the bell looks and feels stronger than stock or other brands, though one wrote that they did not confirm this beyond appearance. One reviewer reported the 13T bell did not fit correctly out of the pack and needed a large number of 0.2mm shims for flywheel clearance, and returned it in favour of the included bell; they questioned whether it suits the Tekno NB48 2.1. Reviews mention pairing with REDS bearings and Buku or Tetra clutches, but none describe long-term failure.
