I was looking around at different youtube vids and stuff and came across several electric vehicle builds. Some used a clutch while others did not. Is there an advantage one way or the other for using one versus not using one, or is it just the idea of fewer parts to deal with? Aaron (Support Ecomodder.com & get rid of these annoying ads!)
