The e-buggy may be a little siffer. I was developed for indoor running as well as outdoor. There are always trade offs for running in different conditions for the stiffness of a chassis. The e-buggy has proven to work well indoor as well as Phend winning the national title with it outdoor on a slick track.
This is quite the opposite of what I'm trying to achieve.. cos I'm an electric driver and just recently decided to get a 3.0 nitro buggy, I'm trying so hard to set it up like my 3.0e. For me the biggest thing I miss (apart from the more direct/responsive feel) is the drag brake.

my 2c;
I don't see myself ever needing a clutch of any sort on the 3.0e, adjusting punch or even just adjusting the way you throttle up seems like a better option to me.
