I'm running a Hyper21 8 port with an Ofna 16T clutchbell and a Mugen 3shoe clutch setup and it great.I've had the Big Joes on for a while now and they havn't stripped yet and aren't showing any signs of stripping any time soon.I'm also using the HPI clamp on wheel hubs but you just have to make sure the wheels nuts are tight after every tank of fuel and they won't strip out.The stock clutchbell is a 14T and I couldn't get it to work on my 8 port but probably could have with more shims but I didn't look right so I went with the 16T instead.The Hitec 645 will steer the Big Joes but I found it to be rather slow so I used the Hitec945 instead and just used the 645 for throttle and brake.Everyone said it was overkill to use that servo for throttle and brake brake it's a BIG truck and goes to fast not to have the added braking power.The radio I use lets me adjust the servo throw so I set it so it won't pull the carb open any farther than it should and just left the brake and full throw.
