Unless your puttin down 100+ horse I don't believe a lock up is what your after, a direct drive style lock up actually kills the pep of a small motor off idle. If your having clutch slippage issues probably just time for a new clutch, give jeff at F.A.S.T. a call his clutch with heavy springs will be all the lock up you need Quote
locogato11283 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 lockups make it a lot harder to shift as well.. i think you should just go with the FAST clutch and be good to go. Quote
AKheathen Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 hell, i'm going to run a conventional lockup for real technical trails/woods. it's not all about puttin 100 ponies to the ground. you can still clutchit when needed, slip it when necisary, 2nd launch and whatever abuse you'll come across needing to get through the nasty stuff. i'm under 50 right now, and can tear through whatever clutch is in there without a lockup. tall gearing you might use if you gear your power twards midrange can smoke it, too. i can lift the tires in 3rd on pavement and have my power overlapping gears, so i don' need to shift so often, which can kill your ride. you can also change out the weighting to change the rpm which it locks more pressure. just sayin......a lockout isn't out of the question, except the slingshot style. not sure you can overpower that one easily....

96 sandshee Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 hell, i'm going to run a conventional lockup for real technical trails/woods. How much weight you gonna add to use a lock up on a technical trail!! Not to be an ass but sounds like an expensive way to stir tranny fluid to me jmo Quote
blowit Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Personally, I would not touch a lockup with a 10ft pole for woods. If you can tear up a heavy clutch kit with 50HP, there is something wrong. I use the P P our of my clutches and never nuked one. I would recommend a heavy clutch with slightly stiffer springs. Woods gearing is different. Get the right gearing and it will help a bunch. Quote
