That's Tekno RC's patented electriclutch system which allows for the use of regular flywheel and cb. It comes with the revo conversion kit from Tekno. I just bought the conversion kit to convert my revo to brushless.

no, you dont have to have the clutchbell. you can use a straight pinion if you prefer. the clutch is preferred by many (mostly racers) because you can throttle the engine thru turns, take offs, jumps, etc to get just the right amount of speed. with a pinion it is harder to control the way you throttle the gas because it is always engaged but with a clutch it only engages once you reach a certain RPM. anyway, i also have a Tekno conversion on my 8ight and it came with an elektri-clutch but i dont like it cuz it is so damn noisy and personally i cant tell a big difference from the straight pinion anyway. but thats because i am new to racing. those with experience i am sure have one or the other that they prefer. the guys at Tekno all race with the clutch setup. or so they have told me.

the clutch bell is kind of strange, i have been trying diffrent clutch shoes and springs to find something that works well

so far i dont like the clutch at all, it came with the conversion but im thinking that mikes mount may be the way to go

ohh, you dont like it.... i would think that that the clutchbel may heat the motor up more, does it? or do you know, im thinking of doing a lec conversion to my 3.3

the clutch bell gets pretty warm, but the motor and esc are such over kill that after 15min of racing they are 5-10 degreses warmer than air temp

i was thinking of adding spacers but i figured it could cause more flex

i also think moveing the motor foward would help with balance
