Helix?

[Woody1050]

If you run Polaris button sek with 50/40 helix and want the same on a Team clutch what would you say the angle would be on the Team?

about a 58/42ish would be ballpark.....and red/black spring assuming a typical/average spring was used in the button.

I was gunna say around 8 to 10 deg more on the start with the finishing angle being around 4 ish. Kinda like what WB said.

The team setups with the encapsulated roller helix likes more angle than a standard open helix setup.

Thanks, can you exsplain why it is 10deegre on the first angle and only 4deegre at the last?
Why isnt it the same on both angles?

because on the 2nd angle(if it's to steep) it won't always pull it or accelarate like the steep first angle on long pulls or runs. If your are in and out the throttle going down the trail at higher speeds the steeper angle(2nd angle) will backshift alright but not upshift back up quick it will feel doggy. I find that with team setup that I like to use starting angles range 1st angle 66-74 2nd angle 40-48. .46 for the where the 2nd angle starts depending on hp,track,gearing,ect. A straight angle or full progresive might work in a dragrace. I haven't tried it so I can't say. The team seams to take a few combos of different setups to get what you want to have for final setup. This is just my opinion. Alot of guys use less starting angle I just like to use more. Team spec r11/45-36 =58-42.46 r12/ 50-36=62-42.46 r8/50-34=54-38.46

This "Team spec" is it something you have come up with or is it from Polaris?

Team spec's right out of their catalog.
