Anyone notice the new clutch adaptors from Tekno!

[Ryu James]

so i got the new 3shoe clutch a little over a week ago and it ran way smoother and much better than the first version 2 shoe. i ran it for about 15 minutes or so but still preferred the longshank direct drive setup. maybe i am just so used to that now. i can see how the clutch could be favored though with the ability to "tap" the throttle for low speed maneuvering around corners. unfortunately i had some parts stolen at the track recently, including my clutches, so i cant run it even if i wanted to now.

but i did have a question. when i put the clutch on, my front tires were really ballooning up huge when i accelerated. i did not think this was due to the clutch at all but when i put the pinion back on they only ballooned about half as much and had to reach much higher speeds to start ballooning whereas with the clutch it was almost immediate. can anyone explain why this would happen? why would the clutch cause more ballooning than my pinion?

also, how hot should the clutch be after running? i had my gear mesh set just normal but when i went to take the clutch off it burned me! is it normal for it to be 150*? or is there something i should have done differently?
