Kanedog discovers a Clutching CATastrophy, again. Pics!

[lilduke]

not trying to be a smarty pants but i think its 380 mph (558 ft/s), thats the OD speed at 8000rpm anyways. None the less its not a good situation to be in lol

how'd you come up with that number?

my math also says 190mph

^ might be mistaking diameter and radius. Here's a question - how high would a 2lb chunk go if it flew straight up through the hood?

8inch diameter x 3.14= 25.12 circumference

25.12in x8000rpm x 60min= 12,067200 inches per hour ÷ 63360 in in a mile = 190mph

haha all good. just want to make sure kbi has the right numbers

This should show both pics now. I would bet anyone with an Alpha with some miles on it will have similar cracking on the clutch.

Guess I should take a closer look at mine and see.

What is causing this?

Not sure. Going to talk to my dealer tomorrow hopefully they take care of it. I think next summer I'll do a billet cover and get the whole primary precision balanced.

Your belt deflection is perfect!

No lol not my sled, that was either Dallas’ or Calebs’ can’t remember which one it was now, was looking for a different pic earlier and seen that one in my phone so I figured I would share with KBI

 

[LUCKY 7]

warranty I hope?

I know, still didn't wreck a belt lol.

Weird with so little belt squeeze ?

 

[skegpro]

surface speed is much more impressive when you say 278.667 feet per second lol

Like an oil spill.

How many millimeters per second?

Holy crap that’s crazy damage. Great pic. I can see the balancer ring on this clutch so it’s an updated clutch, different from the recalled 17’s that didn’t have the ring. Cat has got to be cringing watching this thread. I cringe looking at the pic and I have no horse in this race.
