My Revos!!!

[Matthew_Armeni]

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.

Actually I am running an aveox 36/30/1.5, very similar to a 2000kv L can feigao. I am running it on 5s lipo and am geared 15/40. I can go lower to a 14t clutchbell, but that is it. Other than that I can put the close ratio gearset in to lower the top speed. I will try it out again tonight and see hoow it runs. I have a feeling that the talons that I have on it are worn out and have too much sidewall play. This is causing some interesting high speed wandering/flips!

I also agree that being skeptic is ok, but until someone has tried out this setup for themselves it is hard to pass final judgement on it. It may be different but it seems to work well. I am just having trouble remembering that I do not have reverse!

Huh, I got the motors mixed up. Maybe if you drop down to a 4S pack, then your gearing may feel a bit better, and help out with the overheating clutch. Good luck!
