why do some dislike clutches?

Depending on usage the clutch can get hot, especially if you are trying to drive slowly, or have a tight bashing area that does not aloow you to get up past half throttle or so.

I have one in a revo, and another in a yusa rally. The revo is fine with the clutch, but it is somewhat strange to drive. I used the clutch in the yusa due to necessity, it was before mike had the 2 speed adapter, and the size of the clutch allowed me to place the motor far enough back to clear the mech disk brake. I use a 3 shoe integy al setup in the yusa and the stock traxxas shoes in the revo. The clutch only gets really hot during break in if you use brand new shoes. After a few mins it cools down.

I am not sure how well it would work in the heavy muggy. Stock muggy users have issues with the clutches not holding up from what I have seen/heard...
