RadarRacing Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Yes theres tons of them on huge high Hp bikes. They will hold a lot of power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joejr915 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 How many balls bearing do people use and what order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 On a 611 DM just run all of them. On my cub I pull one out every other slot but on any bigger motor I would just run em all. The way it is designed it wont hold ya back any to run all of them. I really like that lockup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Little bit more progressive if you play with the long slots as well. There's also different weight and material balls from McMasterCarr to mess with with. Here was a pretty decent set up I played with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Do the balls in the long slots move outward later or it takes longer for them to get to the outside to lockup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Do the balls in the long slots move outward later or it takes longer for them to get to the outside to lockup?Exactly. The Driveline/Vito's slingshots come with directions that can give you a pretty good baseline right out of the box for basic motor combos. For instance they reccomend 2 balls in all the short slots for 4mm dune/drag bikes. For any thing bigger they say to add weight to the long slots. But with a little creativity you can really dial it in for your particular combo. My only beef with the sling shot is that I am starting to fiddle with it my clutch for track size and how tight the turns are now, and NOBODY makes a cover for them. I am looking high and low for a used Twister, Duncan, Mattoon stock modded cover if any one has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Also should be noted: there are a bunch of guys buying the FAST clutch and pairing it with a lock up. That is a bit to much spring pressure for any lock up and you should consider asking Jeff for maybe 6 stockers instead. Maybe even 3 stockers and 3 HD springs. My current set up is the Barnett kit with 3 stock style and 3 HD. They are also different lengths. It should also be mentioned this is a 80 horse bike that signs off at about 9,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banshee760 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I run 3 stockers and 3 Barnett ones on my 10 mil , I like the feel of it have yet to play with the weight of it but from what it seems I have way to much weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Interesting Trickedcarbine... The only slingshot I used was one of the originals from Kevin Gigot... It did not have the longer grooves, just a lot of short ones. Clearance was the biggest thing you had to check for. I can tell you in my old 10 mil cub one bearing per groove made it slip horrible. Call it HP, call it rider bike weight, call it track surface... I tried 1 ball every other, no difference in 60ft or ETs for my old bike. The only issue I ever had with mine was clearance, first thing out of Kevin's mouth was do you run an extra steel in your clutch stack...he nailed it. Took that out and never had an issue again. I gotta think about if I want to run this style or DD style on my next motor. Very interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerThanYou Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 IMO, nothing against the maker's of these style lock-ups. They take a lot more work/effort/money to tune & still don't match the capabilities of a standard Lock-up. You have much more ability & it's easier to tune a standard lock-up. Plus, you can play with the clutch pack to tune other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
