I think you can controll some of the braking with the esc, just not distribute pwr from front to rear. I also like the tekno kit because of the new chasis. But pretty sure the 1700kv motor is where I'm going, most likely a tekin setup.

Hi, I am running the setup in the first picture, Tekno kit using the clutch. You will get some strong opinions regarding the clutch and I was originally not to thrilled about it because on a Revo conversion the two shoe clutch didn't work all that great (it got really hot). But the new three shoe design is much better and runs cool. Yes you can easily use the long shank pinion for a direct drive with the Tekno kit, and I do have a couple of long shank pinions I was going to try out but I like the clutch system so the long shanks are just in the tool box as a back-up. Yes you can dial in brake power via the ESC, but as you stated you can not adjust brake bias, and I prefer more rear bias to help the truggy rotate better in certain situations. I feel the mech brakes are more important to a racer as a tuning option.
