Kuma, Thanks for the offer, I might take you up on that if what I have in mind does not work. Thinking of that self sticking reflective fiber glass mat on the bottom of the plastic trunk and then just a simple stainless heat under the mounting tubes. With air flow between the heat shield and the trunk, I'm thinking it should be fine.
After last weekends first run I noticed too much
Engine movement. On the Nytro I put a 2 stroke torque snubber on the Engine, well that Engine doesn't move at all and not knowing how much the snubber was helping I did not do a snubber on the Apex Engine. That and there was no clear cut place to put it anyway, so before I went out again, I made two.
Went to Jims creed again and the weather was Terrible, blowing and just nasty, we went out anyway just to see how the new weights are working and yep still need more which is counter productive to the secondary being able to hold it. I ordered two helix's that are not here yet so we did not stay long - too nasty. Although I was there long enough to know I'm still a long ways off on the clutching, secondary still getting really hot, strange thing is the primary is actually cool, leads me to believe I cant control belt slip in the secondary and that the belt is not hot enough to transfer heat to primary. Bad thing is I'm running the heaviest spring STM has for their secondary so I must reduce the 45 degree helix. I have a reverse cut helix of 35-45 and a straight 40 coming, I'm hoping flatter is the right direction for my application, STM thinks other wise.
