My first thought is after he put the fire out , seriously though it was pretty hot. looks like mine.Great thanks for the help! He said that it had only been ran once. What I thought was kind of weird was that it had some blue coloring on the outside. Is that due to heat at some point or are those clutches just like that? Secondly, I bought this clutch to run a predator class. From what I have read, I need a fairly high engagement RPM for those motors, will this be a decent choice for my application?
