The clutch is hot because you are probably over geared, my Revo is setup 18/36 and my clutch never went above 120. Granted I am running a 9XL and you are using a 7XL, but still. Are your clutch shoes in the leading position? This will help a lot with the temps and the feel. As far as comments about this being a money issue I don't think so. A year of R&D from a company based around performance and durability shouldn't yeild a more cost effective product. Also using this setup takes a lot of pressure of off the electronics and keeps temps down, maybe people like a more direct feel, if that's the case go into the programming and adjust the throttle curve to be punchier. But coming out of a turn with this setup is super smooth and feels right.
Finally, if this isn't your cup of tea, then so be it. Skeptisism is understandable and who doesn't like to be an armchair engineer but no reason to bash on a new idea.
