30 Series GoPowersports torque converter kit

[cobra351]

Hi All,

Was just curious if anyone has replaced the clutch setup on the Trailmaster mini xrx-r with the 30 series torque converter kit from GoPowersports and if it made a noticable difference. I have a stage 1 kit on it already. I believe the mids already come with the torque converter instead.

No idea, but welcome all the same.

I’ll let you in on a little secret. But don’t tell anybody I told you. SssHhh! A 30 series is a 30 series. All parts interchange between everyone. Your best bet is to tune for speed and fun. And Use a Genuine Comet Belt!!!! The cheap belts last minutes, the Comet’s last a season.

Had any luck? I just joined because I am looking to do the same. Not a fan of the centrifugal clutch for what is otherwise a great off-road kart.

Get a cheap one from the jungle store and a Genuine Comet Belt!

If you have the xrx-r with the reverse gearbox then it will not work out of the box without modifications. If you have the mini xrx without reverse then you will have an easier time.

Thanks. I do have the mini xrx and not the -r. It would be nice if I can make it work.

Anything is possible, just ditch the reversing gearbox (who needs it anyway?).

The forum is geared more towards traditional go karts and traditional drive systems like basic centrifugal clutches and torque converters with the occasional motorcycle engine'd kart (6 forward speeds) thrown in for good measure. We tend to stay away from the Chinese stuff because it is a bit problematic dealing with them.... but don't let that scare you off.

They sell a reverse gearbox that replaces the driven shaft on a 30 series.
