Ok, let me start off by saying I really like the clutch on my 8ight buggy conversion so when I decided to go w/ the 8ight truggy and convert as well I figured I would just get the clutch. I know the truck is a lot heavier, but figured it would still be nice. After about 4 hours of racing the thing with the clutch it basically exploded (must have had a weak spot)... anyway I just happened to have the long shaft kit so I installed a 15t pinion in and OMG this truck is SOOOOOOOOO much better w/ the pinion. I am still using the mechanical brakes, but it drives sooo much better and is so much more responsive it's not even funny. If anyone is wondering out there.. drop the clutch, trust me the pinions are the way to go. I still like the tekno kit because of the mechanical brakes.. but at least with the losi kit you get a somewhat sealed rx box vs hanging out in the open so I would if I could do it again gone w/ the Losi conversion parts for 75 and saved the 140-180 the v3 kit costs..

Again just my 2c...
