"I won't even try to hill start and tight trails where you are on and off that puck clutch constantly getting 2500 lbs. Moving again and again will eat those 6 pucks like a pencil eraser".
Absolutely eats them up. As I stated the first disk was destroyed and the second showed quite a bit of wear after only 4 days of trail riding. On most given days of riding we do between 60 and 100 miles of trails. Most days are mixed with 1st and 2nd gear driving on tight trails as well as some trails where we get going in 3rd and 4th and go 70+. Throw in a few hills during the day and its amazing the cars even make it back to camp.
"I think we share the same problem (weight).... When I had a windowless 1300lb buggy with no stereo and a wimpy little winch, no tool box, radiator, etc. I never had clutch issues. "
My old was the same way. 1600lb car with a 3rib, stage 2 with fiber and a built 2276. I could run for about 4 years on a disk.
TW9294, how is the slippage when this heats up?
MM, Which Kush disk are you using and how is it holding up?
After digesting some information over the past few days and reading a few posts, I currently have no idea what I want to go with.
8" vs 9"?
fiber vs metallic? Based on the type of riding we do, it may be best to go back to fiber. We have way too many starts and stops in a given day. My brother is running a stock Ecotec 2.4 on an 091 with a fiber disk and has no issues with anything for the past two years. Its amazing how a little more HP and torque changes the entire playing field.
I didn't even think about the dual disk until now...Has anyone ever run the dual 8" or 9" from Kennedy?
