new(ish) QSC weights

[got wake?]

i just got back a little bit ago from having lunch with adam and tammi from quad shop customs (QSC). i was giving them some feedback on their product and where i thought future development should be focused. on the subject of tires in between stock and big/aggressive mud tires (26-28" tires for the most part), i have heard that some were getting a very high initial over rev, then the rpm's dropping, so i asked if they had plans to make an intermediate kit. well it turns out they already have the weights available for that. basically they are the same as the standard mudpro weights, but the weight distribution is different, so the 35 gram weights have heavier tips. so if you are looking for a lot more low end, but aren't running 29.5's or bigger, i would highly suggest checking out the new weights.

whats the lighter weights do? i know the ones he sent me for my 650 are 33grams wit ha crap poad of hols driled in them, and he sent me a green yellow primary and yellow black secondary. and my stall is 2700/2800 with 30in back right now that sound about right?

so would this kit be good with 28 inch silverbacks? Adam told me 28 sbacks are so heavy that you should clutch the same as you would for 29.5 laws.

yea kit i got in now with the 30backs turns them fine, it put me looking at the sky lol and that on a 650

Are you really happy with your clutch kit? Does belt grip feel way better over stock? How does bottom end feel in high range.

i can let you know more after tomm as i just put the kit in this week and rode around the house some. it engages alot higher around 2700/2800 but it engages smoother than the stock set up did. with it stalling that high kinda feels liek it slips but i dont htink it does. when i sat the outty on the rear bumber it was in high gear with the 30 backs on from a slow roll. so it still got plenty or bottom end for sure. i think it just take me a little getting use to it. and that 800 u got should have plenty of lowend in high or low gear for sure

At what speed does it start to die off? I think im gunna order this week!

the more motor power you have, the heavier weights you can run. the heavier weights you have, the more clamping force you have. the 33 gram weights are what they recommend for the 650's, since the 35's would give it too low of a shift out. the 650's actually like revving a little higher than the 800's. all the weights are identical, except for the number of holes in them. the mudrpo vs. intermediate weights are identical, except for where those holes are drilled. the intermediate ones are drilled closer to the heel/pivot point than the mudpro ones. the mudpro ones are drilled out near the tips, since they need as much low end pull as possible. basically the center of mass is different between the two weights to give them a different characteristic. you could put in the tan primary spring to lower the stall a little. you could even try the EPI red primary for a lower engagement while still having pretty similar backshifting characteristics.

the 28's are going to be borderline between the two weights. i wish i had someone with 28" silverbacks to do some testing between the two weights and be able to give actual data. i think if you do higher speed riding, the intermediate weights might be a better choice for you.

right now all i have in is a green dalton primary. I find it wheelies way easier when rolling around 7-10 mph then it does from a stand still. Man i wish someone tried both of these kits with 28inch silver backs..

[got wake?]

if you are pulling wheelies easier at 7-10 mph than from a stand still, your belt is probably slipping on the primary off the line. the QSC weights will definitely take care of that. the only question is which ones will work better to get the shift out right and not have too much overrev.

[atvmodster]

My belt dont feel like its slipping. Just spins. Part of the problem may be these silver backs. not much rubber touches the ground on hard pack. Them wheelies were in high range also. Only time i use low is in mud. Thats what i like about the 28 sbacks. high range is still pretty functionable.

Ask and you shall receive!!!!

I'm glad people are starting to think about us "little guys" and are starting to make products not specifically designed for 32" tires and 6" lifts. There's nothing wrong with that but I've done it for 5 years and I'm through with it. Want to trail ride and have fun these days.

Just talked with Tammi at QSC and told her some punk who calls himself gotwake told me to stay away from the QSC clutch kits because they are junk!!!

Just kidding. I told her gotwake has been talking about the new weights they were coming out with and that I wanted to give the entire kit a go.

Paul should be ordering it for me this week and I will post back with some in depth feedback soon.

[atvmodster]

That may be the kit i end up with as well. Ill talk to adam monday. My 28 inch sbacks are damn near as heavy as 29.5 laws.

well on hard pack, nothing is going to help the wheel spin. if you think that is bad, try putting them tires on some crush locks! all i gotta do is shift my weight a little and the ass end slides out from under me going around corners. its fun and scary at the same time. needless to say i'm amped up all day riding like that! its definitely a different feel. i would imagine it is similar to riding on ice.

i'm gonna call her and tell her to charge double! definitely post results, as i haven't seen any testing with them and am eager to hear how they do. just wear a helmet the first time you ride it, cause it's gonna point the nose to the sky and throw you off the back if you aren't holding on tight!
