Just want to try a electric clutch/ traction drive on my eb48

Search alot and found that electric clucth and traction drive are not the same LOL

I am not interest in mechanical brakes... Only the motor brakes

Question is
Can I use the electric clutch with motor brakes ( no mechanical brakes)??
Or only the traction drive with motor brakes?

Thanks

What you want is the traction drive. You have the ability to tune braking power and slip with the springs that you use.

I also thought it must have been the 17mm hex slipping inside the wheel but that is not the case either making all this seem very strange . I will replace the hexes and wheel nuts to see if it makes this issue go away, just wondering If I'm the only one who experienced this?

Let me tell you what, this dude is definitely what the hobby should be about for most of the big sponsored guys. Helping out, volunteering, and probably one of the fastest turnmarshals out there regardless of it's the F main, kids class, or otherwise. I always thought it was a good idea after Tekno brought him onboard, but even more now watching his presence and attitude at the track. You can see the big tekno area they had setup across the track.

Some of the mains had brutal starts (mine included having lap times nearly double what it should be due to people not playing it safe and hammering down), but a great event in general. Surface is a clay/dirt/sand mixture and the majority of it was blue groove in a matter of hours. There was also minimal dust, no matter how many were running on it. Definitely will be back again next year.
