Im still on the fence with this one.
While i cant deny that this will really ease up stress on the drive train especially if your gunning it on a jump landing. I haven't really had any drivetrain issues with my direct drive set up to speak of. My drive train will probably not get as loose as quick for sure and have as much backlash as soon as direct drive I'm sure.
As far as toning down excessive low end torque for better traction, you can go to a calmer motor and/or adjust the exponential on your controller to get a similar effect. Then by doing that exponential adjustment, your car actually controls the amps or conserves the power sent to the motor instead of wasting or burning out that energy on a slipper pad.
So far it seams like i'm looking at more cost, things to go wrong or have parts for in my tool box and energy lost or burnt on a slipper pad. Is there a significant angle I'm not considering? Thanks
