When u talk about gearing conversion is the engine usually conected right to the shaft without using any gears or are u talking about the clutch plate itself which is itself is a gear
it needs a collet or u-joint to connect the shaft to the engine,...most nitro boats don't use clutch..clutch has an advantage in a bigger boats during lauching coz boat can stand still and don't need another person to throw it...
don't be confuse when controlling boat, in the control as u push the brake lever the engine will shut off not like in the car it's a brake and engine still running.
