Gee

Hoping that the vast experience of this forum comes through for me again. I've been looking (in the wrong places apparently) all over trying to find the answer. Been to the web sites. Surfed and searched the internets lol , sent emails to a couple companies, etc. No answers found, no replies with the answer, or no replies at all.

What is the physical difference between a Kyosho Style clutch bell and an OFNA/Mugen style clutch bell? Is one of the styles maybe considered the standard style. Meaning if a CB is advertised without indicating a style would it be a OFNA style?

For example here are three 16t clutch bells made by ProTek.

Each indicates a style due to the clutch system but no spec on sizes. I hope I am not the only person in the hobby that doesn't know what the difference is.

I have a LOSI clutch bell and know it is a taller cb then the rest of them. The couple others clutch bells I have I do not know if they are considered one of these styles or not.

If anyone has the two different styles handy would they please take a quick measurement of the sidewall and inside diameter of the two? One of them must be either taller, wider, or both then the other one is.

This is just concerning the 1/8th scale mod1 clutch bells for buggies, truggies, mt, etc.

Thanks
