My thinking is that this would allow you to use different sized clutch 'pinions' to alter gearing, the advantage being you didnt have to buy lots of expensive (but brilliant none the less) mod 1 pinions to find your perfect ratio, but instead you could use the no-doubt cheaper interchangeable clutchbell 'pinions', and still have motor braking & reverse. Just a thought anyway...

Had the same thought myself, but you can only use them in forward, cause reverse will unscrew the pinion from the clutch bell. And it will be 3-4 times the weight of a std pinion gear, and longer too. I had an adapter made up to use the nitro 4tec gears on it, so gearing choices would be possible, never used it though.
