Default Running a clutch on electric motor??

What have been y'all's experience with running electric clutches for 1/8 out door off road racing? Good or bad was thinking about getting one and trying it out

I've never ran a true nitro style clutch because you would need a 2nd servo and linkage to make it work. I have run the Tekno traktion drive and it works great. Especially on low bite tracks. I currently have the losi version on my tekno but haven't tried it yet. The Tekno kit version has been discontinued but I think you can still piece one together by buying the parts separately.

I was looking at the losi one. Does it require different gearing or anything to help out with it?
