Thanks for the comments guys.
Kits are for the pros like Mike or Tekno to deal with. I think Mike is working on his own (probably much better) Elektri-Clutch setup in a 1/8 buggy to see how it works. If it does work well, I'm sure there will come a time when sombody makes kits, just like the direct drive setups now. But at this point I havent even seen a 1/8 with a fully functional clutch setup in it yet, so who knows if there is even a benefit to it yet. This may all be just a big elaborate waste of time.

I am also ONLY using rear brakes. You still get some front braking power from the center diff but not much (depends on how heavy the diff fluid is)
I also picked up a Electrik-Clutch adapter. What type of clutch shoes and springs are you using?
I plan to run without the clutch springs so that the shoes will engage sooner. |
HS81MG Wow thats a small servo for stopping a 1/8!!! Pretty impresive! You are right though, its all about leverage. I think the HS5245 is small enough for me for now though.
I'm using the M2C 3 shoe Revo clutch setup with the .9 springs and Med. shoes. I bought this kit
