clutch for nitro?

[airdevil85]

has anyone heard of a cluch for use with a nitro engine? as i would rather be able to stop my boat rather than grab it at full speed

Set up your carb so that with trim fully to power it idles, but cut back it shuts down.

Thanks for the tip, I'll do that
but, I also kinda want the boat to stop and idle without having to restart the engine

[AndyKunz]

If you leave the trim full forward, it will idle but there will be some movement. PUlling the trigger (gently) will get you back going again.

You need to look in the RC car market for a clutch that will do what you want.

That cluctch system works great.

I love the ease.

stops and idles for hours,

Great, where can I get one of these clutches? www.traxxas.com

yeah but all the sitting and idling will overheat the motor wont it?

[airdevil85]

it could, i wouldn't let it sit for too long, or hook up a water pump or something
