To my experience whenever the clutch spring was broken, the truck would not roll smoothly forward or backwards. Basically the clutch would engage and it would stop/be hard to move as well as I would hear the grinding noise of the shoes/spring against the inside of the clutch bell housing.

Check to be sure your throttle trim adjustment on your transmitter (controller) is set to the middle position. Be sure your carb opening is only 1.0mm or 1/8", I thought mine was and my truck would always want to walk forward a little, so I closed it even more and now it idles sweet and does not want to move at all.

Your throttle servo should be a little towards the back of the chassis, not the front, check that too.
