Default Exoskell users, give me feedback.

OK, Ive searched, and the name only pops up a couple of times, which is quite surprising.

I know dozens of people have bought them, but as yet, havent found much feedback on how they drive, how the pedal feels, and how they perform on the track.
Although the latter is probably a foregone conclusion. I know it will perform at the track.

Its the other 2 that I want to know about.

So how does it drive ?
And how does the pedal feel.

I have the regular OZ700, and have done for nearly a year. To me it drives close enough to a stock clutch, that I'm over the moon with it, and to top it off, the pedal is light !!

Will a twin disc Exoskell feel the same ?

I bought mine a few months back. But the car is not back together, so it will be awhile until I can comment on it.

i love mine also. i feel it start catching about a 1/3rd of the way up from the floor and between 1/2 and about 2/3rds it fully engages.it is very smooth and only marginally stiffer than stock.mine hardly chatters if any. as previous poster said you can easily slip it alittle like when you are taking off or whatever, it is awesome

I love mine. I haven't taken it to the track yet but the driving is good. Very light peddle and you can slip it easy with light engagement. It has a tendency to chatter at the point of engagement though. I only have ~1200 miles on mine as of not and from what other say it gets better as far as the chatter goes the more you drive it. It is all really a fenesse that takes a couple weeks to master on driving it and keeping it out of chatter. But what can you expect from a full metallic dual disc with one solid hub disc? You will have some chatter.

I don't think it is physically possible. Interference issues. Someone correct me?

Pretty sure I queried this in another thread. Pete did say it was possible.

Ive yet to actually call him and speak to him about it though. Will do soon.

In my personaly experience, weather or not the disc is sprung had no difference on weather or not the clutch chattered.

But it will reduce some shock loading onto the trans.

I'd disagree about the "chatter" though. Generally a sprung clutch will be smoother.
