    won't work, you will not be able to get enough weight on the arms to lock it up, it spins to slow...

    Danno, thats what I know and hear............ but I have been told by Tony Lang himself that it will work.[img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]I am curious if any one out there has had any success with it. RCR gave it a go in 92/93 and the results were a "bucket" full of crispy plates and blued/warped steels. Tony did say it was on a PSM he was helping with and maybe this is whyWe never had a datalogger on the bike withthe slider set up so maybe that is why it worked on the PSM Tony mentioned


    John Myers and GB3 were testing the STARPSM at Warner Robbins and John actually came over and asked if we were using a 750 gear set up with the slider. David said yes and John said it would not work,I believe that is the last time that David tried to run the slider with the 750 gears. A year or two later the bike was sold andI was told that the buyer tried to run the slider again and had Elmer Trett working with the set up and they did not get it to work correct either.


    I am leaning heavily toward running a slider but I do not want to change out the gears on my billet Falicon crank, it has only a small amount of passes on it. I have been running a big engine that is pretty violent (Especially when night time comes)at some of the "Bush" tracks that we have run at in the past. It gets old losing races because you spin away afour orfive hundredths reaction time hole shot![img]smileys/smiley7.gif[/img]

    The outlaw guys use that combo.. from what I hear.


    A guy a race with bought Angie McBride's old outlaw and it was set up that way.


    When I saw that giant clutch gear with a slider basket on it setting on his table, I asked him "What are you up to" He said thats the way it was when he brought it home.





    I know thats no cartire/bar bike, but I guess it must work on some level...


    Doesnt sound like a good combo to me... If anything I would like to spin my slider faster!Edited by: Fasthouse

    Cam, if memory serves me correct the 1100 gears are 1.78 and the 750 gears are 2.12. I can not remember the teeth numbers, I have them logged but that is in my trailer. Looks like your ratio is close at 1.85.One other thing to ponder is my butt weights a little more than yours![img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]Edited by: Wade Clark

    Wade, you will be able to lock it up if you make your own weights and mill out the inside of your clutch cover and are ok with instant lock up. There is no tuning window resulting in less than pleasent results. If it were me and I had a nice peice of change tied up in a bike and all I needed to do was change the crank gear, I think thatI would bight the bullet.
