TODA Racing lightweight flywheels increase throttle response and aide in overall vehicle performance.
TODA lightweight flywheels are not modified stock flywheels, but brand new units produced from 100% chromoly steel.
In addition to these flywheels, TODA Racing also offers high performance clutch packages which include a TODA flywheel, pressure plate, and disk.
Chromium Molybdenum (Chrome molly) for technically advanced flywheels.
Chrome molly has many useful properties over standard steel, the ones that are most useful to us have to do with the molecular distribution. The molecular make up found in chrome molly gives it less internal stress and a better distribution of mass. This enables us to design a flywheel where we can exploit the stress free and balanced nature of chrome molly. i.e. We can place the chrome molly were we need it, Such as the clutch face area and remove it from area were we don't require it such as the outer edge and ring gear area.
Also when we heat treat chrome molly we not only keep the flexibility (less stress) but we also have improved wear properties,in the areas such as the teeth of the ring gear and the clutch face.
Inertia and a quicker responding engine.
Hold a brush by the end of the handle and try to spin it quickly and then try to stop it as quickly as possible. You have just experienced inertia. Now place your hand half way down the handle spin and stop it again. See how much easier it was to control, that's what we try to achieve with our TODA chrome molly flywheels, a quicker responding engine, giving you more control.
So basically a heavy flywheel helps to smooth the power delivery to the wheels when the engine is running at very low speeds. So a balance between ultra light weight (quick response) and ultra heavy (slow response) are also key factors built into TODA chrome molly flywheels

Precision and durability, a product of high precision CNC machining and a 2 part heat treatment.
The production of a TODA chrome molly flywheel can be broken down into several sections. (refer to image) 1st the basic flywheel shape is machined out. Then the 1st of two heat treatment processes is carried out, which hardens the chrome molly it is then slowly cooled down to restoring some flexibility. After which the final detailed machining is done. With finally the 2nd and final heat treatment giving the clutch face and the gear teeth a greater wear and durability rate.
