Never tried one but it looks like fun! I've often pondered about manual clutches on go karts, in terms of practicality. It might get real old moving that clutch though, and most karts pedal setups would make a clutch pedal difficult, but at the same time, you could probably smoke someone off the line.

I believe they went under again a few years ago. Only available for 3/4” shaft engines. Joe405 or Karl has had experience with them.

There isn’t really a point when we have TCs. But it looks like a cool novelty idea.

That's what I was thinking.
I have one drag mini bike, and almost done the second one.
I would like to see à bunch of reviews on the 3D-manual clutch.

I think they are out of business again if I’m not mistaken.

I think it was determined that they arnt good for drag racing. A traditional racing clutch is more repeatable and gooder.
And not really suited for racing , its really only good for clutch dumps/ fun riding.
And for that the price is just too high. If it
were half the price and available in 1in bore id buy one just cause.

Hardcorewill I say give it a try. It may take time to figure it out, but I believe anything is possible. I say give it a try......If it does or doesn't work, then you've learned something new anyhows.

You’d burn the belt off of it on the first clutch dump!

The company is alive and well. I bought a clutch from them in 2021. They are well built and can take a beating. Disk clutches are more expensive than a shoe clutch just because they are more pieces and more precise. Like anything there is a special application for these clutches and racing mini-bikes is where I can see the largest market but I have seen them on go karts.
