Default What springs to use with my Dynomite Max Life clutch shoe

Ok, so I ordered some clutch shoes for my truggy (aluminum). Problem is the springs I have allready dont' work with my new clutch shoes. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/2660 < is what I run with composites but they dont' work with the aluminum shoes ([]). Will http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/3645 < that style work with the shoes? I am going to place an order soon and do want to get some good springs for the shoes. FYI these are the shoes I have http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/10016

How do you know they wont work? I dont know if this is relivent, but on my 8ight, which has a 4 shoe clutch (BEST clutch ive ever used!) I run all maxlife, someitmesw 2 maxlife/2 composite on loose tracks and they are the best clutch shoes. They dont gum up like other aluminum shoes. RUnning 2 different rate springs might help with performance too.

What springs do you use, the stock Losi ones? My problem is the metal off the clutch spring isn't long enough to reach onto the "metal" part of the shoe .

Remember, the ST-1 uses a 3 shoe type clutch. The 8 uses a 4 shoe clutch. The springs will be different.

Not sure what they're Rated at? But they last the longest of all the different Springs I've tried.......
