Competition This is too cool

[South Bend Clutch]

This company has built an assault vehicle using a 6. 6 Duramax engine.

Check out the videos. It is the Ripsaw MS1 This sucker will travel over 100 MPh. They asked us if we build a clutch to hold. There will be two clutch packs that will act as drive/steering clutches. So, we built a billet aluminum flywheel with a bronze inlay for a triple disc and used a 3600 lb plate load. Sent them the proto type and they ran a torque test on the clutch. It bent their torque bar at 5800 ft lbs of torque. :-laf:-laf They called and said to get the second one rolling.

That thing is awesome. The only thing that would make it better is a Cummins (I bet you knew I would say that). And the only thing that would have made that video better was if it didn't look like it was made with a cell phone, by the Blair Witch guys.

Yeah, I thought the video was pretty cheesy as well. An unmanned 100 MPH tank with a big gun on top OMG!!! There is a meeting set up for later this week with officials from the military. I hope their money is good. LOL

Rumor control says they built the first one with a 97' 12 valve Cummins.

The gear boxes and tracks kept ripping apart, so they decided to use something with less power. Thus the Duramax came into use.

And of course SBC was the choice both times!!!



i just had to do it. !!!
