BTW: I'm not trying to slam the product, just was curious about your thoughts on this...

Brian, thanks for your questions. No negative effects have been seen at all. This is due to the bracing around the gear mesh area thats included in the Tekno kits. This keeps the twisting/flexing confined to only specific areas of the chassis (kinda like a tuned flex Losi chassis).

No official plans as of yet. But be on the look out, I spy something new on the horizon...

If not, I will send in for the new three clutch system with thinner spring.

Sorry, but the long shank pinion are the only option for direct drive. Reason is because of offering the clutch option and this requires more room. I encourage you to try the new clutch. We have been getting very good results.

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.

Thanks for your support!
