did you shear off the bolts to helix. that has happened to us.
We were running the most "Rampag-est" clutch they offered (I think it was the stage 8). At V2R, I believe we broke one of the weighted arms, but at least twice since then, it is either the socket cap screw closest to the pulleys (the center lower hdwre. closest the pulleys in the "roller stop" pic), or the weighted arm "roller-stop" screw that put us out of a racedid you shear off the bolts to helix. that has happened to us.
Through the advice of members here (thanks Mega D. D.!), we are opting to work with Adam at Airdam clutches to transfer the power in 2014. Just reading through the link pages on his site re-assured us of his commitment to always moving forward in developing a reliable clutch for our race needs. I am hoping not to come across as bashing any clutch manufacture(s) here. Their support in 2013 has been greatly appreciated. My goal is specifically to share our experience in this area, and gather advice and info to help us decide on the best course of action for the 2014 season. It's my guess that the UTV manufacturers will be introducing a design change in the power transmission components of at least their top-end UTV's in the near future, but we know how tight-lipped they are!. If so, the speeds are going to shoot sky high. Class 10 times maybe? Our new build should be around 300-400 lbs. lighter, in an effort to become more competitive.
