Elektri-Clutch in a 1/8 Buggy

[DrKnow65]

Scrap the rear disc, most of the braking is all front end anyway. Besides the heavy gear oil you have to run in the center diff (for the big motor to not just unload the front tires) should transfer plenty of brake force too IMHO.

What kind of RPM does it take to engauge the clutch?

I actully think that I would like to have it setup with a little stronger rear brakes than front. Front only would make it tough to turn in. You would lock up the front tires and then it wouldnt turn at all. I'm not really running much stiffer diff fluid than a nitro runs anyway. I'm only running 7K in the center. I run 5k in my nitro.

Not sure what rpm the clutch engages yet. I have it setup with the standard 1.0mm springs right now. I'm going to start there, but it allows the use of lighter or harder clutch springs to get the feel you want. Not sure If I'll be able to tell the difference on a brushless motor or not, but it does allow some tuning. The stock revo clutch doesnt really allow any tuning thats why I decided to try the M2C. Its just a slightly smaller version of a standard 1/8 3 shoe clutch designed to work with the Traxxas clutch bells in revos with high power (for nitro) motors.
