The kit for the scorpion clutch doesn't include the basket. The basket is a whole separate purchase and truthfully shouldn't even be necessary but in this case our baskets seem to be pretty weak so here we go.

It happens..Some get lucky that it never does crack/explode when more hp is added. At best its just adequate for stock hp numbers...The great thing is you caught it in time. The fix is a basket from these guys.Not cheap but thats kinda the point.

That'll do it. Up the power and you need to up the drivetrain to match. You just found the weakest link.
