Motor brakes or mechanical?

i agree with you about the elektri-clutch setup. I dont like it. i definitely prefer direct-drive. i dont know, i was going to pull out a clutch again this week and try it again since i am a better driver now. the Tekno guys still religously use the clutch setup. but Danny recently told me that one of their biggest sellers recently are the long shank pinions. that would be a good user name - Longshanks. lol. anyway, when i switched from cluthc to direct drive i was expecting some huge difference but i didnt notice much. other than the pinion is sooooo much quieter. i can still control at low speeds. not quite like a clutch i guess but i have never felt i need to switch.

mozzy, thanks for sharing more info. so it sounds like on motor breaks your run times were always roughly the same amount of run time. so the mech brakes 4 extra mins was after several times with motor breaks, right?

I'd driven the CRT with motor brakes alot prior to going the mech route. Was also trying different gear ratios to see what was best & then settled on my current set up.

This set up was used with both motor & mech brakes & the mech brakes yielded a longer runtime by over 4mins.
