Basically there are two plates with tapered grooves (channels) from the center out (large groove at the center, getting smaller twards the outside). There are balls (weights) that are in the groves, when the rpm's increase the balls are pulled outward by centrifical force, this wedges the balls farther into the grooves and pushes the two plates apart, applying force to the clutch pack. |
That's a pretty interesting design. I think there is much improvement to be seen in the "clutch" area of RC. I wish someone would design a clutch for RC that works like that.
Most "slipper" clutches that are used today are designed to "protect" the drive train, but they also hinder acceleration. It's really the fact that it never truly locks up that does this.
I'm almost 100% positive that I have the answer to the cogging. These diffs will change how everything acts. With the Phaltline tires and the 4.3:1 diffs, Rollout is exactly the same as the E maxx outrunner setup in 2nd gear. This is gonna be awesome because this is SOOOOOOO much tougher.
I got the Diffs assembled. They look great inside and out. I also figured out the CVD arrangement. Now I have to split the bulks to install them.
For all you guys taking notes here, the RD Logics CVD's work with the Hotbodies diff cup. The THS Racing cvd's do NOT work with the HB cup.
