last night i put in new clutch shoes and springs (mugen aluminum ones)
It seems now.. that i can sort of rev the engine before they will engage.. the old ones were real easy to move up and down.. and these alum. ones i can barely lift up with my fingers.l.. not sure if i actually did..
But i ran it for a small bit today, and cant figure out if its something i did.. or if it really is just how strong those shoes/springs are...
But when i get up enough rpm's and it catches, the thing FLY"S off.. i mean it will just take off and pop up the wheels with no problem if i do it right..
So im thinking its normal for it to be tough to engage?

I too got a new set of alloy clutch shoes(HPI) and it came with 2 sets of springs, gold(thicker) and silver(thinner). It say that I should use the gold one for 4.6 block and silver for 4.1 block. Question is can I use the gold one to my Savvy X 4.1 block? If so, will there be any parts of the engine that might get damage??? Just a little confuse
