I had heard of this issue before. But also heard people say it rarely happens. Usually torque -y motors or just hard pitch pumps and such. It is supposed to be a little defect in the otherwise proven 700 align design. The clutch has too much clearance from the clutch bell, so it has to fan out too much to engage . That causes stress and a torque full motor with a lot of torqu changes tend to put wear on the metal and it fatigues. So yeah... Here it is



I am ordering a heavy duty Lynx clutch made for the 700nitro. Should be a simple fix . the clutch shoe material seems ok still.

Its amazing the stresses in these machines.

Wow! Never seen that before.

Could not make it out on my phone. Now that I am on the lappy, holy broken clutch batman.

Looks nasty Gaba, has it caused anything else to break?

nothing else. just the clutch. Flew a few flights on it two weeks ago! the clutch did well.. no issues. the idle and engagement has changed but it engages nicely
