Good point. I've suggested Tekno in another thread to have Clutch-Free version of theire conversions, using standard mod 1 pinion instead of long shank for customers to choose from, but not very likely to be accepted.
So far Tekno is the only one insists using of a clutch among all those available 1/8 conversion kits, RCM, Novak, CC, RCdesign produts, Losi, AE, and new Hongnor.
