clutch went out after 1 day at the track

[FrostBite]

Well it was my first time at the track last night and my stock clutch was fine but after my 6 or 7 races it was gone. Im all wheel drive so i was pulsating the rpms up around 4-5k and when it was time to go i slipped out the clutch to keep it at the rpm it was at so it wouldnt bog down. i knew it was hard on the clutch but i didnt think it would destroy it. Now i cant even drive fast, if i just accelerate in gear..when the power kicks in the rpms slip without me even touching the clutch...how long do you think itll last if i baby it? My main question is if I get an ACT 2600 will it go out in a night of racing if i slip it out like i was doing or is it made for that? Also whats the differance between a 6 puck and a 4 puck? Ill post a video of one of my runs so you can see how i was launching too.

Slipping the clutch is the optimal way to launch an AWD. ( a quick slip though nothing too long)

My ACT 2600 has a good 100+ launches on it and doesn't slip at all.

break the clutch in first... and i had the same thing happen to me... change it asap... mine lasted like 5 days after it happened and i got stranded

Exactly, you can smell it if you let it slip too slowly, although even a quick slip I smell some burnt clutch. Also, my act 2600 lasted many many passes/launches. They are said to withstand 250+passes, I find that mixed with daily driving the clutch lasts a lot longer.

heres a video of one of my runs. do you think my launches are too much for an ACT 2600? also does anyone know the differance between a 6 puck and a 4 puck?
