So I just installed Rage 3. Seems to work better than stock, but then again could just be thinking since I got a new clutch it more torque. Anyway...so I tested down my street, easy to put in gear, no "clunk", and WOT from a roll, it smoked the tires for about 10-15 feet. Problem is I never put the stock clutch through this senario before I removed them. Is it just in my head or is the Rage 3 better?

I'm running a qsc in mine. Good choice on the rage 3. It wakes the Maverick up and runs like it should. You keep runnin like that and your next problem will be needing tires.

All of the aftermarket clutches have a lower starting gear ratio so you will see improved acceleration from takeoff as compared to stock clutching.

heavy......so does the stock clutch break the tires loose? when i went WOT rpms went 6950, 7200 and stayed at 7800. I thought they were supposed go right to 7800 and stay? not sure if it is set up right?

depends on the type pavement and how much air is in the tires……Mine would bark the tires but not spin enough to smoke them but I never tried to air them up just to get them to spin…..With the QSC/STM, it will smoke the tires on smooth cement for ever but on my street which is chip sealed it will only do it for about 10ft. I have never really paid attention to the RPM's on pavement since I never ride on it. I worry about my RPM's on dirt or hard pack where you get lots of wheel spin. Check out your RPM's on what you typically ride on and see what you get …...

Geez my mav must be weak compared to everyone else's. Mine won't spin on blacktop even with my STM setup. Are u guys sure ur spinning? I'll even pull out of a trail on blacktop turning thinking it would spin sliding and nothing. I don't think mine spins on wet blacktop and mine shoots right up to 7600-7800 right away... Maybe IV got a different setup in my secondary?? Kris did say mine was the first to try the pink spring

 

[LBSwank]

I wanna smoke my tires....

St is the pink spring for Breast Cancer awareness :smile:

The stock clutch won't do a burn out on pavement. LOL the Rage 3 is better...by far.

And yes st222 we are smokin the tires.

I want mine to do this......mine is bone stock 30 miles and 6 hrs and will spin the tires on the street.

 

[wickedcummins]

the stock clutch will too do a burn out.. ive done it a few times now!

 

[desertdog]

Yes it will do it, but you need to air up the tires. All the aftermarket clutches have a MUCH better grip or bite on the belt so you get more engine torque hp to the wheels, which is what makes em smoke!!!!!

 

[desertdog]

It also helps to have sport low mode if you want to do wheelies like that.

Mine didn't with stock and still won't with qsc, but all my roads are fresh chipnseal and I run low tire pressure. Mine will will stand up instead of burnin tires.

I have the same set up as you and my street is the same surface. Add a little air pressure and you'll have nascar style burnout's in your street!!

 

[st222]

How much air pressure you guys talking?? I run 12

 

[sprinks542]

done it with 16 lbs in mine.

 

[C.Moore]

I run 16-18

 

[desertdog]

I run 16-18

winner winner chicken dinner!!!

At 18 psi I never got rubber out of my stock clutch...hmmm
