I've actually got a RVM Speed 2 (same thing but a 2 shoe rather than 3) I haven't run it yet...looks to be a nice set up.

what up Jerry!!!!! Throw that clutch in one of them revos and keep racin wit us!
rmv 3 speed automatic? - joey - 04-25-2006
from what i have read , the way it engages it keeps full pressure applied the entire time it is engaged so that you dont get clutch slipage, and put down the power more efficently.

I dont think i have ever experienced clutch slippage.. how do you know if your clutch slipped?

Lacking bottom end...clutch bell turning blue from heat

because the clutch shoes are only egaged at a certain rpm ( the springs giving way to allow the shoes to contact the inside of the clutch bell) so when you start to excellerate or decellerate the is a period of time right after the clutch shoes are engaged or before they disengage when there is not fullforce being exerted by the shoes to the inside of the clutchbell, there is were you will recieve some slipage with is why you have to debur your shoes every once in a while, the rmv clutches are designed so that when it is engaged it maintains the full pressure on the inside of the clutch bell, hence no slipping, unless im confused?

give it a try, ive wanted to but i didnt wanna spend the 100$
rmv 3 speed automatic? - joey - 04-26-2006
i might get one and the springs too

you only have to de-burr AL shoes, carbons don't burr which it looks like carbon on this $100 clutch
rmv 3 speed automatic? - joey - 04-26-2006
deburring wasnt the issue, it was clutch slipgage and wasted enegy that could be put to the wheel instead of wasted when the clutch slips, and consitancy, since the clutch maintains full pressure and doesnt vary, the reviews have said that it gives the clutch a very consitant feeling as well as being very durable, you can instead of using springs to change your engagement rpm you could try using different sized clutch bells (smaller for ealier larger for later) just sounds pretty cool, if it works like the reviews say it does and you are semi serious about racing it might be worth it but for just club racing probably not, thats my take on it.

The one I have came with Carbon and either Rulon or Teflon (white) shoes.
