exactly.......... I made sure to run a soft hitting clutch too so I wouldn't get that super hard jolt with throttle applied. I ran a clutch setup that would enguage (sp?) right away at very low RPM.
The pins would snap halfway through the RPM range on the power just from brute power....
3.5cc buggy engines are a lot different than any Traxxas motor, even the 3.3(being a .20)... .21's have a lot more power, even the low budget ones.
There is a fine line between having a fast revo and having too much power. Too much power just throws the truck around and makes it hard to drive on the track.
