So then the Key that fit's the TC has about 1/16 of play on the axle? Do you suppose that with more power to speak of, and going from hard braking to full gas repeatedly, might cause the key to shear?
Nope, not at all(and its not on the axle... its on the engine's drive shaft)... If a TC made accelerating an
instantaneous action(like a cent clutch), then it
may become an issue... but seeing as that a TC starts off at such a low ratio, it
compensates for the initial 'jerking' of the wheels upon takeoff, to a more 'smoother' acceleration(like a golf cart), but if you WoT it does tend to break traction. I run a Honda gx200(clone originator) that boasts around 10-11hp(stock only 6hp)...
They have springs that engage the TC clutch at a higher rpm. If used/gotten,
then there 'could' become an issue w/ the key gap '
possibly' sheering, however doubtful. By doing so is
ONLY beneficial if the engine has more power at
higher rpms(normally the engines w/ a cam installed), such as for drag karts.
Also 2 additional features about the TAV2, vs most
any other TC, is you have an OverDrive on it that will increase your top speed an additional 10% more than what calculations will equate(
unless your engine wont push the weight at the OverDrive rpm speed), and it '
actually' has 3 different settings, on the driven, for the 'terrain' of driving, which is handy if you dont feel like upgrading to a 40 series later on, if by chance you happen to drive from street to hilly off road.
