10mm DMX Testing

[SlowerThanYou]

DMX, 2nd run on asphalt goes 9.92 driving thru the clutch badly. We tried to detune it, because Angel is not licensed and only legal to run 10.00. Well, it went 9.84 driving thru the clutch again. Need to do some clutch tuning & a final gear change.

I'm not a clutch tuner and was wondering if you could explain the term "driving through the clutch?"

Slipping badly, needs more base pressure/more spring. The 60' time really sucked for the ET it was running, but was really making up for it between 60' & 330'. It was running deep into the 3.80s in 330'. We have been 3.60 in 300' on sand. The asphalt set-up is currently running a 2.0 final gear ratio & probably needs a 1.80 - 1.90 final ratio. It gets pretty tricky to make that ratio & the clutch right for 1/4 mile.

Angel has done a great job with the DMX. He has totally changed the timing, dome set-up, some huge lectrons & changed back cone on the pipes. Plus, a bunch of smaller changes. We plan on changing out the beefy/heavy rods that K&T wanted in the motor. Actually, that whole K&T motor set-up has been redone by Angel.

The reason I came back & updated this thread is because............the DMX is coming home to Daddy!

I hope to share some of DMX's accomplishments, why it's coming back to me & what's the plan(s) for future of the infamous DMX.

Thanks to Angel taking over the DMX project & totally redoing the porting, domes, pipes, just to name a few things.

The DMX ended up running low 3.60s & a couple high 3.50s in the 300'. This wasn't the intended purpose for the motor, but it kind of went that direction.

Somewhere around 2017 the DMX went back to asphalt 1/4 mile with the last time being ran was 2019. It runs consistent low 9.80s.

More to come, not that it really matters.

Update, waiting on parts, hope to get some testing done this fall/winter.

Angel is completely rebuilding the engine; he did find a broken piston. 1/4 mile is hard on a 2 stroke!

We're converting it back to the Rat Poison race fuel. We will primarily use it for 1/8-mile asphalt racing or shorter but not ruling out 300' sand/dirt.

Slowly making progress! Hoping to get some type of testing done this winter.

Sadly, the best way to post photos now is from your phone. Download Tapatalk, then find Bansheehq. After that, uploading pictures is extremely easy. Would like to see the photos!!!!!
