Don't think he was runnign saddles. Been looking at that conversion, because I'll be running saddle packs anyway. I knew he'd worked on it since them. Won't be running 540 motor, actually Orca MkII VTC speedo and Tekin 550 can 6.5. Will probably need a little more motor for the bigger tracks, but we'll see. Just going to sell the Orion 4T.
Grobe, they're fun. I love my 2wd, just rare we have enough to race anymore. Time constraints have me down to 1 nitro car, so bought this to run on the bigger tracks that true 1/10 can't handle.

Not sure on clutch basket yet. Still researching stuff like that. Other than money, don't see any reason not to add one.

The garodiscs let you finally forget about the slipper.

I am glad you guys are digging them! i cant make enough of them, everyday three or four days i am out! Of course i am biased but they actually act like a real clutch in that it actually grabs hard after the initial slip! and while it is slipping its putting down maximum traction.
A short story of how i came up with them. twice a month we race venom motorcycles and the problem we have with them and hot motors is coming out of the turns if you grabbed too much throttle (which is real easy to do!) the bikes would high side and blow up! we needed a slipper so i made one using mini-t pads and it was good but going down the straight you could hear the slipper continue to slip and we were losing speed. so i tried making disc's out of every type of material i had , carbon fiber,carbon, aluminum, SS and finally Garolite (which i did not think would work) and it performed perfect! now when we come out of the turns we can pull the front wheel up while its still slipping and peg the throttle! pretty much the same action that they do on the SC10!
