Is the max torque clutch better than others?

Just picked up one of these clutches. I'm impressed with it. Very cool to see how they're made! Thanks!

That was actually pretty cool to see. And I learned something about what to use when lubricating them. Thanks for that.

This had to be one awesome adventure, like the candy store as a kid. Thank you greatly for sharing, I definitely appreciate it.

Definitely a very helpful video. The maintenance tips were absolutely welcomed. Very comforting to know the type of man and company that you are dealing with. Quality is at the top of their list. Makes me comfortable as a customer. Great video.

Had a minibike with a 3.5 tecumseh from when I was about 12 years old to today I’ll be 35. Ran the hell out of that engine and clutch never knew to oil it. It’s still working today haha. Now I know to oil them. Thanks for the video

Thanks Greg, this was really nice and I learned a few things. I didn't know there were any that were hand assembled, but am happy to see the people at work.

I liked the trip to the manufacturer. Provides some insight and tips on product usage and safety. Hope you can do more.

Just ordered on from GPS last week. Great clutch!

Thanks for the informative video Greg. I learned a couple thing's, like lube the chain and clutch hot. We love your videos, keep 'em coming!

My father, George C. Fields, founded Max-Torque and designed the clutches and the triple engine racing carts that were world champions in the unlimited class. He lost the company when the local banker called in the loan on his working capital on no notice then bought the company out of bankruptcy for his son to run. Many of the machines and processes are identical to when I worked there as a kid in the summer nearly 60 years ago. BEfore Max-Torque my dad designed the Doodle Bug, arguably the first mini-bike. Two of his patents from it have been used by Harley Davidson, one on frame design and another on their torque converter. All in all, he had some 28 patents plus original work for the war dept. during WW2 for which he could not file.

A long time ago , I drilled the crank and clutch with a hole thru to where the center bolt is,and added a grease fitting in the crank end. Worked great!

Thank you very much for the video. It answered all the questions I had about the clutches!

should also do a torque converter vid like this

Beings me back to my mini bike days!!!! That ring from the clutch....

Killer info 🤘🏻🐿🤘🏻 thanks for sharing

I love knowing that Tyrone made my sprocket! Awesome!! !

Thanks for the video. It was real interesting on how there made.

That was awesome greg

It's neat to see how a lot of the parts you buy without thinking about them are made. It's even neater when it's something made by a small company as you get to see the people who make the product in steps. Not just a bunch of machines doing everything. Also, I wonder if a light machine oil like 3-IN-1 or the oil that comes in the Zoom Spout bottles would help with keeping the bushing lubricated. I'm a fan of both. :)

Great vid brother!! I love that stuff.

Makes me wonder comet used to do now they went out business and got purchased By CPC. At least still made excellent video learned alot might have to consider Max torque clutch.

Can I buy a normal clutch and just upgrade the spring.Cool video.Does a race clutch make your gokart go faster or does it just last longer?

THANKS

'Merica!!!!! Theres nothing bettern

High quality parts.

nobody talks about the Hillard Extreme Duty clutches also made in the USA, I can not kill it, its been abused its entire life, even came off in pieces when the bolt came off my error, got all the pieces back together and still runs like a scolded ape and can be installed up to 13hp engine, crazy good clutch.

Rbg. Is there a centrifugal clutch that will take a 520 chain? Or a way I can add a sprocket to the clutch? Thanks

So I actually use synthetic oil from the dipstick and oiled the clutch with it. Is this way at high rpms it feels like my clutch slips/ about to give up? Or is it just my valve springs

Great owner

How to buy this

Neat

Greg, so these are the best on the market ? What is so different about them in the go-kart world? Reason I'm asking is I bought a go-kart that was inop and the clutch was in pieces in a box and it appears to be one of these. But in the performance duty, what's special about them over other spin clutches? I'm still a bit behind in clutch technology .

Just came from how it's made :hockey pucks 🤣🤣🤣

Burned up a lot of them as a kid!!!

All of the ones that I have had on my go cart with a predator 212 have turned cherry red in 5 minutes of riding on flat

its all in the gearing

Can you do a video on the irs buggy

Hey, RB, speaking of clutches... I've built a boat and I'll be powering it with a Predator 212. I need a clutch that will go between the crankshaft of the engine and the prop shaft (this is an inboard setup). 3/4" shaft from the engine, 3/4" prop shaft. Most all centrifugal clutches I've seen have a sprocket on the "output" end...makes perfect sense for a go kart or mini bike, but I need one that has a female "output" end that can accept that 3/4" prop shaft. Do you know if such a thing exists? If so, what is it called?

does having a higher rpm engagement change the top speed or acceleration? If you raise the rpm that the clutch engages at, dont you have less gear to accelerate with? Or is it negligible unless you absolutely have the wrong spring for your motor? I.e. Clutch engages at 3k but engine idles at 1800.

Ive had my Comet Clutch in my Manco gokart since 1998. But i wonder how these Max Torque Clutches are.

AMERICAN MADE!

An unusual vid yes but pretty cool

I have a stage 4 predator..ideals around 2400 rpm.. can I just replace the spring in the clutch for higher rpm engagement or do I have to replace the whole clutch assembly? This engine is installed on a drift trike so I'm on and off the throttle a lot..which I'm positive that the clutch is getting hotter than a clutch in a normal situation..is there anything that I can do to help keep the clutch cooler? I have seen people drill extra holes in the dust cover..does this actually count for anything?

I wonder how a factory in the 60’s would have been like.

It lasted five minutes on my go cart blew apart!

Role that beautiful beard footage

hmm my max torque did not have that fiber washer I noticed that when I shortened the spring

I have met the guy Adams race track Riverside California 2016

i have a question can the gear on the drum be replaced or do i need to buy just a new cutch intirely or can i buy just the drum with anew gear

Can that ring in the middle be brought , or thease clutches be rebuilt i got one from a mini bike from the 60s i had to beat the clutch off the motor i think that middle ring slung off he was talking about how to get one

I bought one of these clutches from the max torque website and the dang shaft on the clutch broke I was pissed!

Where do you get rebuild parts? I got a rebuildable clutch and then I can't find parts!

How much weight are the clutches rated for

I have a Max Torque clutch on my go kart

If the clutch has no spring it works better.

I need one

The factory clutch on my Colemam EX has needle bearings instead of a bushing. I have no doubt Max Torque makes a great product. However, I'm curious how someone would consider a bushing superior to a needle bearing?

@Deucealive75

4 жыл бұрын

IMO a caged needle bearing beats a bushing. Bushings do fine when under a constant oil bath like in an engine or transmission but are proven to be problematic in a dry environment where more maintenance is needed. Bearings use grease and are often sealed to keep grease in and dirt out. As you may know your clutches bearing needs grease not oil. Oil is only a temporary fix. All you need are snap ring pliers, some brake clean and decent quality wheel bearing grease and you are good to go. If you use too much grease it may bleed out onto the drum area so don't use too much. They got smart when they went to the 16mm shaft that the clutch sits on. This uses the clutch with the caged needle bearing. Way less clutch complaints and warranty costs. Prior to late 2016 they used a 3/4 shaft which used the clutches with the bronze bushing. The clutch with the bronze bushing is pretty much a proven design that has been around for decades. It's just that it needs proper maintenance to operate properly, like squirts of oil after every ride. Most people who buy these mini bikes don't know this.

Is that supports cd70 horizontal engine's ?

perhaps they should send a replacement bushing just in case they do not read the instructions the first time to keep the original one lubricated.

What should I oil it with ?

I want to buy one of those since here in my country they are not for sale

Also I don’t have problem with Tecumseh engines how does he say its the worse engine made? In my opinion they had a great Engine the Powersport series.

@4:33...gonna rag on Tecumseh.
