It's our pleasure to have you back on the team Jason. You're a class act and we value integrity and honesty above all. Glad we could support you. Nate.

The feel and wear are just awesome!

My favorite set up for the clutch so far is two carbon shoes with .9 springs and two aluminum shoes with 1.0 springs. The wear and feel is awesome and it never wears out that beefy Ascendancy clutch bell.

Thanks,
Jason

We don't currently sale the flywheel by itself and don't have any immediate plans as we've not had a lot of folks asking for just the flywheel. As that would be the most expensive part if sold separately we assume most people would rather spend a few more bucks and get the whole kit.

We would consider it though, if it's desired by our customers. Thoughts from others? The flywheel would likely have a street price of somewhere between $25 and $30 by itself due to the machining and pin work that goes into it. Would you want that sold separately? Nate

The flywheels have 5+ gallons on them...met up with Ascendancy driver at the first State race this past weekend and got stocked up. Gonna try the two carbon and two aluminum combo for buggy, was told its a very good combination.

Default Congrats to Team Driver Reno Savoya

Ascendancy Racing would like to congratulate team driver Reno Savoya on the TQ at the Montepeiller GP. Congrats Reno and good luck in the finals!

A little quote from Reno at the event. "It's really enjoyable to feel under control at the event"

I believe he said "5+" and I think he is meaning he stops counting after 5. I don't think we get to be one of the top aftermarket clutch brands and have drivers like Savoya, Branham, James by selling junk.

Are the clutch springs interchangeable with the Werks Pro clutch springs?
