Guys, just got this great new heli and so far the build is coming along perfect. However I noticed the manual does not make any reference to installing a clutch liner and the clutch bell does not come with one pre-installed.

I have a couple extra 600N clutch liners can I just install one of these?

Thanks for any input.

You got a bum part...all the clutch housings in the kits come preinstalled with a liner, contact Horizon for a freebee replacement.

I had the same question and the answer was JRP970285, V50 clutch liner. I also asked the guys at Heliproz if another brand would work like the Align liner. They said as long as the thickness and length matched it would be OK. to use.

Got it, will contact support tomorrow and try and get the liner. On another note I hope some of the plastic head pieces will be upgraded to metal. I always end up breaking the plastic mixing arms and fly bar cages when over tightening the srcrews.

Keep in mind, JR plastic is not cheap plastic. Its not necessary to every in the head metal. I would rather have some plastic so that something would "give" in a crash and not destroy more expensive components. I personally wouldnt or plan on changing/upgrading anything on the Vibe50 head.
