    Cleetus and team, Look at what your rims are doing on the rear of Leroy at 12:14 and replay this as a frame by frame and you'll see that Leroy's rear rims are distorting at the "Dish" and going "Toe-in" and pulling his rear end, around, all over the place on bad track. Maybe a set of sturdier Rims to hold his power should be on the cards. It'll make a difference!

    Just an engineering thought on that sliding piece in the wishbone, Aluminium is quite "sticky" it may be worth going for a hard anodised finish, just allow for the hard anodise as it will make it a larger diameter, or go for a steel one either way maybe DU type bushes. You as a team have produced an absolute rocket of a car.

    • @nolansalas2679
      @nolansalas2679 Год назад +12

      Idk why they don’t use duralumin bushings inserts in the wishbone. Also I might be wrong but I’m thinking the purpose of the floating two piece design is to allow the suspension to articulate, not so much to extend as the suspension drops out.

    • @MrJamesBanana
      @MrJamesBanana Год назад +26

      What material is the outside pipe? I would probably suggest pressing in some Oilite bronze bushings and replacing the rod with a chrome rod for hydraulic cylinders. That should both prevent sticking and make the rod very hard to wear out.

    If you are running a launch control device like a bangshift billy or MAPerformance or Magnus, when back in the pits, the clutch can be held disengaged for quicker cooling around the clutch area with the pit fans. Also these launch control devices can be setup with a 2 step and line lock operated by a switch on your steering wheel, just like a trans brake auto....

    Cleeter the issue you have on the wishbone corroding inside is called "Contact Corrosion" it is a chemical reaction and happens everytime you put steel and aluminium together without a isolator in between them...
    An isolator can be grease but you have to stay on top of it and don't get lazy with maintaining/regreasing it otherwise you will encounter always the same issue but then when you DON'T need it the most hahahahaha.
    I would recomend you to use black "Graphite grease" since its a good isolator and it lasts longer then regular grease 💪🏻😁

    All hail the divine and perfect slipper clutch through which all things are made possible amen .
    I've been subbed and have watched EVERY single episode since back in the turbo whistles and other driveway shenanigans and back when Leroy was bone stock and basically used to win standing burnout competitions and to hoon around parking lots I'd never imagined it'd run 8's. I was constantly checking my notification during the quest for sevens. Then when Cleet put Leroy on ice and decided to stop at the low 8's to stop destroying drivetrain components and built Mullet for 6's I was all for it. The invention of the slipper clutch is what has made it possible to launch a car on 1000hp and not utterly destroy everything. To think Cleetus could have gone 6's in Leroy with these mods is crazy. I never thought it would be a reliable 7 sec car before the clutch debuted.
    Let's go Leroy.... Get that 6 baby!
