jbooker82 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I wouldn't get that one. You get a nice flashy lockup, but the cover is a modded factory one. The extension ring is welded or epoxied on. That could cause leaks. Direct drive sells a bran new cast cover that is extended. The lexan cover also looks different. It is a 7 bolt. Direct drive started out with 6 bolt lexan. Then they changed to a 12 bolt lexan. The 6 bolt lexan would warp and leak a little. If you really want a flashy lockup, buy the Direct Drive Lockup. Take it appart and send the lockup body to some one that does custom paint ball marker anodizing. I woulnt buy some thing that is flashy over one that is proven.

AKheathen Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 yah, that doesn't look like the dd with the 7 bolts, more like a modquad mabey, but you can probably get a nice new modquad from alfie, a site sponsor, cheaper. or, is it pro-design? it says protech design in the discription....

I've had epoxy break on mine twice... Got it welded, no issues since. I don't care for any of the epoxies, roll up, pour in, etc... If I ever break mine I'll buy the molded piece from Direct Drive. Not only is it one piece without the expansion ring it's also reinforced by the kick starter, where they're known to break on a kick back...and all the vent holes are gone. Nice and clean looking.

jbooker82 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Yea the DD cover is nice. Deffinatly the way to go. When I got mine is was oringinally a 6 bolt lexan. The lexan would warp over time and it would seep a little transmission fluid. I bought the 12 bolt lexan ring when they came out with it, and no problems. Good to go. 6 bolt. 12 bolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overrevtricky Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 wow, that looks fast! Not to break in on the OP, but what is the purpose of these Lockouts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 as the weights spin they put more clamping force on the clutch pack. It keeps your clutch from sliping on higher hp motors. Clutch springs can only do so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandShots Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 ohh man, this is exactly the type of feedback i was looking for. is anyone running anything else besides the direct drive. modquad? etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Direct Drive only. They are the only ones who cast a whole new clutch cover. Everyone else machines a stock cover and welds, and epoxies on the extension ring. Jeff at FAST has DD lockup clutches and covers. The only other option with a new cover is a billit one, but those are really expensive. http://www.farmandsandtoys.com/partdetail.asp?partid=317 A sling shot lockup clutch can fit under the stock cover. It uses ball bearings and a ramped floor. So as rpm builds the bearings move out and cause the lockup to expand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 The modquad lock-up does offer a lil more holding force over the DD.. The fingers are setup a little different and have better leverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 hey, jbooker- where'd you get that pump cover? i'm looking for one like that, or if i can find one to do the brushed "cooling fin" look. i believe you can add longer bolts and nuts/washer combo to get more holding pressure, and sooner.
