[email protected] you have some brass ones! On an 8.5 ! ! But I have to say I totally understand how you feel...i went with 17.5 to stay on "safe" side as well on my modern jrx2 runner as welll and Ive beej inching in the more aggressive direction too....the lrm is holding up just fine! !
Im running a modern rc10 b4 dual faced slipper clutch...it adjusts well...in an effort to prevent an ooops moment.
It is unbeleivable fun the 5 link on rough grass is like chewing gum to it...ive been stepping up to steeper pinions slowly but youve inspired me to go full tilt.
Yes I had to open up the tran case just a little for the clutch disc to bottom out sorta speak.
What are you using as external clutch.?..in theory and properly adjusted you should never break the lrm with an external clutch.
Before I forget...what a truly beautiful queen build...I loved its coloring. A true blue shelf'er ...ive got my original to restore too. But for now my modernized runner has me hooked. Ill be picking 13.5 soon!!
