Raptor V1, V2 clutch ,what the difference?

I recently acquired a raptor 50 v2 from that auction site, It was originaly a v1 but upgraded to a v2.

It requires high revs for the blades to engage even after a new clutch liner, the clutch itself has had very little use. I heard on the grape vine that a v1 clutch is smaller so it would explain the higher revs to engage the blades.

What is the size difference?

Are they different visually?

Cheers for any help

there is a good few mm difference in dia. put the 2 ontop of each otehr and you will see a difference.

Clutch difference

Hi just had the same thing myself there is about 1.5mm in size and the engine was over revving on mine got a 50 v2 clutch sorted it right out. Dave's heli's on that very same auction site sells the v2 bell with liner £8.99 and they are very good

P.s helibits.com are good for bits with quick delivery and not bad prices.
