There is an rs4clutch option with a really heavy flywheel which holds up im
told. I am trying to get the parts together to send to Tilton so they can do
one of their carbon/carbon plate clutches. The initial build will be
expensive but after the prototype the clutch is only about 1000$ for
essentially a lifetime clutch, should require no replacement ever. I dont
have the  parts yet (any volunteers) to send but with a year we should have
something on the market. I have run quite a few side by sides lately and
usually take it fairly easy1st and 2nd then nail it from there on. I give up
quite a bit in 1st, not too much in 2nd and nothing thereafter. I agree that
it is so heavy that something will give, I just want it to be tires. I am
serious about Tilton Carbonm clutches if anyone wants to volunteer proto
parts.
