Its got an OS .18 CV-RX motor in it. I've got tons of torque right now, but my top end sucks. I was thinking of getting a 22 or 24t clutch. Is that to much or just right for this torquey motor? thanks

I don't want enough torque to pop wheelies, but want to still blast of the line.
Some faster than my Turbo Inferno would be nice.
Forgot to add, its a backyard basher so its dirt then street then back to dirt, back to the street, etc.

Heheh.. I say go all the way with the 24t... I was running a 22t on my .18 CV-RX(until I stripped it recently) and the thing would still pop wheelies. I ordered a 24t off ebay and it should be here tomorrow.
This engine has so much torque that you need to gear up so you can even control it, on or offroad.

Ah, I like the sound of this. I'm getting my .18 CV-RX from warranty repairs (hopefully!) soon, and I'll be putting that either in my MT2 or T-Maxx... I haven't decided which yet. However, I would have to put the T-15 engine in my T-Maxx if I were to use the CV-RX in the MT2 and probably get another engine mount as well. I don't think that'd be a problem getting the engine mount though, because engines aren't all that hard to exchange. I'll probably break it in on my T-Maxx though. I can't wait to have it running again!

Running a Robinson Racing 58/17 set up with my 18cvrx. Running pavement and Road Rage II tires.
It still pulls the wheels off the ground. But, top end is much better. Keeps up with my friends Ported Sirio 12 and his is the fastest parking lot ST in our group.
I have a 18 tooth clutch bell, may be trying it out on my next day off.
Another thing you can try is to install a top end pipe, the pipe that comes with the GT is built to make torque and boy does it ever. I changed my pipe to my touring car pipe (RD Logics Turbo II) and gained a little more top end and loss just a little bottom end.
