Where do I get the MTK clutch basket? I've seen him post in this thread, but can't remember username. Or does he have a website? Thanks.

Does anyone on the team use stick packs at all or has it all gone saddles?

Can you please provide a high-res pic of their clutch basket?

Their clutch basket looks no different than the mtk other than the vented plate. A lot of you were speculating many more "layers" a few pages back, hence the pic request. I will just keep playing with my truck as is. Granted, it takes a lot of tuning to be manageable but it is a fun truck to mess around with and my 8yo has taken a shine to it. Definitely not kick ass like my 8.2 though.:)

There are a couple people still running stick packs, with great success too! Steven Hartson won the 3rd round of the Short Course Showdown series with a stick pack!

I think the guys were speculating on the AE clutch, not the Fast Lap one. RC and RM both ran an AE designed clutch at the Reedy Truck Race.

If you want to stick with the 1256 (I run it) I can run it fine directly off of my RX8....but that can do 5A continuous. With a 3A BEC, I don't see you KILLING the ESC, but I do forsee brown-outs in tight corners where the system has to work harder to turn the wheels, and you may be doing some back and forth to correct... Rather than a turnigy BEC, the Castle one is only about $25. EVERYONE up here running an MMP and a high powered servo is running the Castle BEC with no problems.

Oh, and connecting the RX directly, you need to make sure your RX can handle 8.4v (full lipo charge) and you need to make sure your transponder, and anything else can handle it too. If you connect the Servo power directly, then you only need to worry about the servo handling 8.4v.

I'd rather see you spend the money on a proper BEC than buy a $100 servo just so that you can hook the power leads directly to the battery...I sold my HV savox to a buddy so that he could put it in his SC104x4.... Sure, it is a little quicker, but after driving his truck and my truck, with similar setups, I can't feel a difference. The 1256 keeps you connected to the truck nicely.
