That's ok, I don't care either way. It's nice to have options for these conversions.

castle creations HV110 esc with CC BEC

geared 16/36 33mph

my slipper is set fairly lose (the truck will not lift at all) the drive train is silky smooth, nothing binding or catching with cermaic bearing

after 5min my clutch is +325 degrees

i have tried alot of things includeing diffrent shoes,springs as well as 3 and 4 shoe clutches and vented clutch bells

i am haveing to change clutch shoes every race (traxxas stock revo)they are often deformed around the pin, blue in color and melted

i have tried sanding the clutch bells,and even running without clutch springs

i need a real fix for this before this season starts, i exchanged emails with tekno last year about this with no results

I assume you retained the two speed setup in the tranny? Sorry if this was already answered in a previous post...

It may have something to with the ESC you're using. It's an airplane ESC, so it has a soft start, which may be causing the clutch to slip excessively during takeoff. I tried an airplane ESC and there was just too much lag for my taste, even slower than a high value punch control setting on the Mamba's. Also, just in case no one has mentioned it, be sure the shoes are in the leading edge position, not trailing like you would have them in nitro.
