GTC Torque Converter Install MB200-1 Mini Bike

I am installing the torque converter and it is going well but I have an issue with interference between the drivin pullet and the frame. The driven component hits the frame and to fix this I had to install 1" mounting blocks under the engine. Briggs & Stratton engine spacer kit number 695154 worked excellent for the mounting clearance I needed. Recommend GoKartUSA carry this product so it is easier to locate and order at the same time as the torque converter. =======> ANSWER JOHN, We DO carry this product. It is the Engine Mounting Platform, found on our website. It raises the TC about 1" to allow mounting a TC on a Minibike

This is a great option to have on any toy. It seems that power is increased as well as speed. My Baja Warrior top speed went from 25 MPH to 50 MPH. Very easy to install and almost zero maintenance. This order is my second one. Someone else liked mine so much they stole it.

TAV2 copy quality is lacking

After 5hrs of use the snap ring peeled off and bearing came out. Installed new bearings and welded 5/8 shaft instead of having snap ring. We'll see how long this lasts.
RESPONSE: Deanna, make sure to install the pilot washer in front of the snap ring on the jackshaft. Then, make sure you torque the jamnut to no more than 11 pounds, Any more and the snap ring will pop off during operation. Thanks, the Gokarts USA Team

Ordered this system for a baja mini bike. Installation was very simple. Had to bend the jack shaft tab down and adjust the rear tire all the way forward and that was it. Bike now accelerates crazy fast and climbs hills with ease here in the mountains. My son weighs 220 lbs and it now runs with my reaction 250 buggy in a drag race. What a blast!!

After placing 3 separate orders with other stores and having them all cancelled, we finally got it here. All 3 websites showed the comet TAV in stock but none of them had them. We got the GTC and it installed on our gokart which hadnt been driven in 3 years. It runs great. Highly recommended

I Installed TC2s on 2 Baja Heat Mini Bikes with 196cc Honda Clones. They performed Fantastic, incredible, I love it! If you put you feet on the ground and hit the gas, it will stand up! The acceleration is Crazy fast, almost instantaneous. The Top End Speed is around 38-40 mph, which is crazy for a mini bike!
The Install Instructions were very good and easy to follow. I think the jack shaft axle should have a threaded bolt retainer instead of an e-clip. The drive pulley is hard to hold while being torqued, and you should include threadlocker.

TC2 Runs Great

Well, I got my TC2 after waiting about 2 weeks. At the time I ordered it, it was on backorder. They tell me now it is in stock and ships out in 1 day. I got the 3/4 inch model and installed it on my bike with a Honda 5.5 (clone) engine. The take off power is great, it pops a wheelie off the line. It accelerates nicely and gives me great top end speed. It came with good install directions and I was able to install it in less than an hour. I know there are a lot of people out there looking for a torque converter so i thought I would post my comments here. All in all, I am very happy with the TC2 and very glad that they are available.
