I will check tonight and confirm tomorrow. Ok im wrong, what i did was put a normal sized half mm washer in front of the spring between the slipper plate and ive got no slipping at full tightness so may actually need a stiffer spring, so not an issue but still need to move the spur inwards more by a few mm's to protect the spur more.


i see that you might have a problem with the gear cover becuase you are using the standard motor plate which is thin. On my ZX i am using the GPM finned motor plate which is 2 times thicker so it pushes the gearcover a little outwards. perhaps you can temporarily space the gearcover out by adding washers inside the screws. or you could find a machine shop nearby and just cut off 1mm from the spur side so that the gear will go in. The gearcover cannot go out any more as that will mean cutting through the entire side of my bodyshell to make it fit properly. I think just a slight tweak of your design would resolve this issue, but will be a bit more specific on dimensions later on when I get a chance. The issue I have is I cannot move the motor plate out with spacers as this will move the motor weight slightly off centre as well as moving the gear cover further out and that will mean cutting more off the bodyshell than what is needed. The test went well but as with all first attempts they always need adjustments to get perfect


i am glad that its giving the lazer an edge.Edge would not be the correct wording, more like ballistic difference. As from the word go I had immense accelaration with zero belt jumping, zero wheelies, just slip on the clutch (I used SC10 high torque pads). Ok I had help from a fellow racer who said that in the practice run my clutch was way too loose so he adjusted and said it was almost perfect but could be fractionally tighter to get the perfect setting. He couldnt tighten the clutch anymore, however it was for testing and I made sure whenever I made an error and got stuck I kept hitting the throttle to see if I could snap a belt and nothing, it slipped perfectly every time and I tried and tried but proved you have designed a weapon for the track that works well
