Our Lightweight
Flywheels have become so successful because of the
way that we take the weight off. Concentrating on taking as much
rotating mass from the outer diameter
of the flywheel, making the acceleration
response even more effective than other flywheels of the same
weight. Upon close inspection you will see that the flexplate
diameter has been greatly reduced along with the
corresponding area of the flywheel. The ring gear
and flexplate are bolted separately
to the flywheel with very short bolts that provide a further weight
savings as well as ending the problems encountered by other style
lightened flywheels. Notice that our scalloped flexplate
design while reducing weight also drives the flywheel making it
impossible for the flexplate to rotate, taking the entire load
off of the bolts. All surfaces are CNC Machined
and then receive a final Dynamic Balancing
to within .25 grams. They are available for both left and right
hand applications. We also recommend our Blanchard
Ground Ring Gears, which are .125” thick for
all 12-volt starter applications and stock thickness for all 24-
volt-starting applications. We have been building this race proven
design for over 9 years and have paid out in excess of $9,500
in our Race Contingency Programs. Our Lightweight
Flywheels have literally won countless amounts of
races by most of the top pro racer’s worldwide, making the
Diamond Marine Flywheel the standard of the industry.
If you rev your motor over 8,500
rpm this is one of the few Hi-Performance modifications
that you can make that will actually increase your performance
while adding to your motors reliability.
