We realize the clutch is not a perfect system, like lincpimp said, it's another option. Our new 3-shoe is pretty cool though and allows a greater range of the above mentioned RPM/gearing combos. With the thinner .7mm springs, it would probably work good on a single speed Revo.

A question on the new 3 shoe clutch system that I have is about clearance between the clutch bell and the center diff mount? On my 8T when using the Tekno RC clutch bell I have to dremel a little (not an issue at all) to ensure that there is clearance for it to spin. I noticed that a standard nitro clutch bell's diameter is larger, which causes me to think that I have to dremel a little more for. Does that sound right?
