Correct. The new 2-shoe does away with the flywheel, collet, and clutch nut. So it's lighter, stronger, spins truer and is less expensive to setup.
The 3-shoe is also a 1-piece design and provides the most tuning and clutch shoe options along with the best performance. The new 3-shoe with the .7mm springs is one of the best setups we've tried.
As for the Elektri-Crap, I thought we emailed back and forth until your problem was solved. If not, give us some more details on your setup so we can try to help rather than calling our product a piece of crap. There are many reasons it can get hot, and the fact that we've run them competitively in truggies for over a year without issues leads me to believe there might be something in your setup that may be causing the problems (locked in 2nd gear by chance?). Or try the new 3-shoe...
We are exchanging all of the old adapters for the new 2-shoe adapter free of charge (just pay $2 for shipping). Send us your old Elektri-Clutch to our address with a return address and return postage and we'll take care of the rest.
Or, send us your old adapter and $10 and we'll upgrade you to our new 3-shoe adapter (clutch springs and shoes not included, but you may have some that work already off of your nitro).
The new 3-shoe adapter (no shoes) will now be included in all of our conversion kits except the Losi's, which will include a full 2 shoe clutch. The reason for just including the adapter is that most people converting should have springs and shoes that will fit right on whereas the Losi 4-shoe clutch and clutch bells are not compatible with our new adapter.
