LO206 karting clutch chosen by everyone for at least a decade. Now you can choose the driver you want now. 

When you're sourcing new parts for your racing rig, the drivetrain is where championships are won and lost. The Hilliard Inferno FLAME Tunable Racing Clutch with Needle Bearing and Drum is engineered for drivers who demand absolute precision and blistering acceleration out of every corner. Building on the legendary Fury platform, the FLAME introduces lighter, grooved shoes that actively sweep away dirt and debris. This self-cleaning mechanism prevents galling, ensuring your drum surface remains pristine even in the most grueling dirt or sprint track conditions.

Tunability That Outperforms Any Go Kart Engine For Sale

Whether you are bolting this onto a fresh go kart engine for sale or upgrading your current setup, the FLAME clutch offers unparalleled tunability. You can fine-tune engagement points using optional weights and quick-change springs. This allows you to dial in the exact RPM engagement needed for your specific track layout, optimizing power delivery whether you are running a traditional chain or experimenting with a belt drive system.

Precision Engineering for the Ultimate Go Karts Supply

As a staple in any serious racer's go karts supply cache, this clutch features an advanced needle bearing and race assembly. This drastically reduces friction compared to standard bushings, translating to smoother power transfer and significantly less heat buildup. The increased shoe surface area guarantees a vicious bite, eliminating the slip that costs you precious tenths on the stopwatch. Don't forget to check your carburetor gaskets and fuel delivery systems to ensure your engine matches the aggressive bite of this clutch.
