These converters engage around 1800 rpm. So to get a lower rpm output, you need reduction sprockets after the TAV. SMOG uses a 4-stage reduction. Axle speed is 17 rpm max. I have a video about it.

Not with my kit. At least, not without a good bit of modification and lathe work. I have heard of a kit that does have that setup. But I've never seen it.

Mine's bigger. @8:40 in chassis, real world test. studio.kzfaq.infouwL9mSR4IAQ/edit

This type of torque converter functions as both clutch and transmission. Exactly the same as a CVT automatic transmission in a car. Fully loaded, SMOG weighs about 1,700 lbs. More than a Volkswagen. Could you drive a car without a clutch or an automatic transmission? BTW, SMOG also has a massive chain-reduction transmission: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q918bNCEt5qtcYU.html

'00' grease. It's like rear diff. lube, but without the sulfur so it won't damage the bronze gear. It's used in a lot of agricultural equipment. I had to pour it in VERY slowly through the vent hole while working the bubbles out with a piece of wire.

Depends on the make/model of snowblower. Try searching ereplacementparts.com. My Troy-Bilt 5024 uses 917-04861. YMMV.

2" worked for me with the spacer and washer stack I used. But if 2" is too short for your motor, get a 2-1/2" and cut it down as needed to fit your application.

​@doktorscottdiabolical oh, I was actually just putting the pacman washer on backwards, so the flange wasn't inside the shaft and was spacing it too much. Embarrassing! But thanks for your response.

It's just an optical illusion. Single channel on the LOR controller. Conventional 120v AC led mini-lights from Walmart. The flickering was the LOR controller varying the intensity every 1/20th second. I could have used a downward "cascade fill" if I were using RGB pixels. That's what Disney uses in their Villan's Grove Trail. But IMHO, the effect is too slow. Mine looks more like actual lightning. My technique is also $300 cheaper and much easier than pixels.

Thanks for the prompt response. If i could go frame by frame on you tube i would have seen it. but alas i had to bother you. also what was the timing on the bottom spots in the program. with that setup how precise can you trigger an event? and lastly (for now) do they use SMPTE time code or just min seconds. Thanks again Dan@@doktorscottdiabolical

I don't know the timing of the spotlights. I think about 3/10th sec per flash? For the lightning bolt, I used a mixture of 100% on/off and the "shimmer" effect in LOR S3. All LOR sequences are timed in fractional min/sec with either a fixed or adjustable timing grid based on the music you use.

Not absolutely necessary. But it provides the driven pulley & jackshaft with the correct geometry in a convenient package.

If you have the VU wizard in your LOR software, try starting there. Then just work with your intensities using very short timing blocks to get the flicker right.
