Any word on the new qsc clutch? Just curious how much better it is then the first one? And what are the differences?

 

[Tzenev]

And when is it going to be available?

Mid April according to Tami at qsc

I am testing one of the first QSC Raptors and I can tell you this is going to be the clutch to have. It is smooth, runs quiet, has excellent mud tire turning /crawling / pulling ability, has engine braking as good as stock when used with STM secondary, has higher top speed potential than any other aftermarket clutch available, and is fully and easily tuneable just like the first generation QSC primary.

The main differences from the first Gen QSC primary are that it has larger dimeter sheaves that close further, double thickness parts in places where the old one has failed in the past, larger rollers, different weights

It is available to purchase now. They have just begun filling a backlog of orders before new orders are filled so it could be a couple weeks before it will ship.

Note: The weights are not in the clutches in this pic

I have run the First Gen QSC Predator/ STM, CVTech/STM, and Rage 6/STM and This new Raptor is my favourite clutch so far.

That looks totally different from the Gen 1 clutch. What's the cost? I hope same....but doubt it.

You can't buy the primary alone for the Maverick. You have to buy the secondary along with the new primary if you are installing them on a Maverick.

$1,390

Why? Did the dimensions change with the Gen 2 clutch? To my knowledge the STM is the only thing that won't run with the factory secondary.

No its because Adam won't sell the primary to be used with the stock secondary. He says every time he has tried it the bolt backs out of the secondary. At sea level that is anyway. Makes less power at high altitude so it's not an issue.

 

[RTB]

Adam had mentioned that he would not be selling it for use with the stock secondary because of too many problems with the stock secondary bolt backing out and destroying both clutches.

I am sure you could use your own STM secondary if you already have one. Giles is correct on the price for the pair. I believe that breaks down to $820 for the Primary and $570 for the STM secondary.

Dimensions have not changed. It still uses the same long post secondary (stock offset)

 

[Giles333]

Dimensions haven't changed. They just won't warranty the secondary if it doesn't hold up so they will only sell the QSC primary and a secondary together.

Is this Rory?

Sounds like I'll be saving my pennies for the gen2 qsc instead of a full stm set up. I just run the dunes, so if I could get something that pulls hard on the bottom and get some more top speed that would be perfect.

Tami says Hi. I'm on the phone with her right now.

Anyone have any idea what the gen 2 will run for top end on a stock mav?

 

[Giles333]

I can tell you what Tami told me today......she said you will not see any decrease in top end speed with the Gen 2 clutch.
