What do you think of my buggy project?

Not to step on your toes Serum, but the clutch setup in the tekno revo works well. I have quite a bit of time on mine now and can only find one fault. It does get hot on low speed running, right at the speed that the clutch is still slipping. For heavy bashing it works like a charm, and the tekno guys had good success with racing too.

Now I think that mike's center diff with the slipper built in would be the best bet for a basher. Put some decently heavy fluid in it and use motor brakes, but have the benefit of the slipper for hard landings, etc.

I do like the mech. brakes on my tekno revo. They work very well and my quark/aveox setup stays cool too! Mybe mech brakes and the centerdiff/slipper would be the best bet. I love reverse, so I am torn between the two!

Hey James, do you use the clutch shoes mount in leading postion, or you use it in "normal" position?

When my buggy will be done, i'll try it without the spring, so it'll suppose to engage at verrrrrrrrrrry low rpm and not supose tu overheat
