Has anybody broken the buttons on the secondary? if so, what change did you see in your quad, does it cause the quad to loose power and make it sluggish, and how hard are they to remove? I have an RCR mid range kit and it has no low end power whatsoever and rick believes it to be because of broken sec. buttons, Thanks

 

not sure if thats what it is but if u want to replace them with stronger ones go to hpd and get theres i heard theyre very strong!!

 

Been running my HPD buttons for a few years now that show very little wear. Well worth it IMO

 

Oh, BTW, if Ricks says that he thinks it is the buttons, then most likely it is the buttons. Rick knows these things inside and out.

 

what exactly are the buttons???

 

They are what the Helix rides on.

 

oh i see i guess i just havent paid any attention to them.

 

see what my problem is is that i bought an RCR stage 1 kit with the black & orange spring, and it has no low end power, so i took out the black spring and replaced it with my stock one, which helped somewhat but not nearly what it should be, I thought that it might have been that the stock dogs/weights are too heavy and that they are not opening up quick enough on the primary clutch, therefore causing the motor to bog down and be under power, by the way, once the powerband hits (with both springs) the power and speed of the machine will pick up to where it should be

 

I wiped out my ramp buttons before. All of a sudden I had NO power. Felt like the belt was slipping. Could barely get up a slight incline. Had to push it into the back of my truck. I replaced them w/the aluminum ones from hpd. Have had no problems since.

 

Are there any tricks or special tools needed to pull the buttons out?
