      I mean these guys are just copying a c90adventures who drove one of these 1000 miles all the way to Moab through the desert and up snowy mountains including converting it to be amphibious and crossing a lake. At the end of the day these things are just off road go karts with suspension running Honda shifter engine clones, they can do a lot.

    If you guys Google centrifugal clutches, you’ll find that you can usually change the springs in the fly weights on almost all centrifugal clutches. However, I would put a hand clutch on it something that you can lock up manually or unlock manually with a cable or a lever, considering the terrain you plan to do.

Then I randomly saw the Morrvair on the road one day by my house (Lehi), did a double-take and went "WTF?!" Then bought a Wrangler. And now I've gone down the rabbithole of wheeling around Utah and watrching you, Robby, Matt, fab rats, and Heavy D, and all these cool UA-camrs right around here.

    11:36 There's a lot you can do with a centrifugal clutch. Changing the belt is one. There's ways of changing things up with the belt, but you would have to experiment. Wider belt same length, shorter but narrower belt. Longer but wider belt. You get the picture.
    Changing the springs to heavier (meaning hard to compress) or lighter ones (meaning easier to compress) another.
    I'm guessing the clutch is driven by a chain from the engine, if so, you can change those sprockets. I'd say this is your best bet to increase the clutch RPM.

  • @davidhawthorne9637
    @davidhawthorne9637 9 місяців тому +3

    Yall seemed to only use 1st and 2nd gear the entire time even on the higher speed smoother parts. So a much lower gear would help A LOT! You can also adjust the weights and springs in the clutch to basically make it a higher stall so it will rev up more before the clutch engages.

  • @davidtindle6973

  • @haroldshobbies
    @haroldshobbies 9 місяців тому +3

    Depending on the clutch you have I’d imagine that you can change weights and springs to get the engine rpm in a better range for what you’re doing. The question is, whether or not you can get the weights and springs for those clutches.
