Personally, I think the clutch is something that should stay on a nitro engine. I think its a good idea, especially for some applications, but not a Revo. Another thing to consider is the fact that from what people have posted, it seems like it will kill your runtime. Its just one more thing thats not necessary. I use the RC-M mount and with the center diff, it takes off great, no cogging, and wheelies aren't an issue (wheelies are useless in a race anyway) and everything can be kept stone cold. The MM was getting a little hot, but only cause it was overgeared slightly and I was using the internal BEC.

People have posted issues with runtime due to the clutch? Strange, my setup gets great runtimes, at least 35 mins and usually closer to 45mins, mixed bashing. It is an aveox 200kv motor, quark 80 airmaster and 5s 5k lipos.

Not exactly. Its just from what I've seen, people were only getting around 2/3 the runtime they should be getting. Like 20 minutes with a 8000mah pack.

That's where the Mega and a Quark 65 or MGM 80 would come in hand.
