Aaron or anyone else..... I just switched to the Evolva and have a few good used clutches from some buyouts I made. Not knowing exactly what clutch springs are in these clutches, how do I find out?? Measuring diameter/ number of coils??
Two look grey-ish and the other brown/red-ish. Is there a way to know by checking coil diameter, # of coils or on a spring machine?

The Longer Greyish one (10mm) is the one you want to use , it is known as the 4D spring. The shorter greyish one is what comes with the 3D kit and the redish one is used by somepeople but not often.

What spring do I really need with this car? I have the reddish/brown ones (8.4mm long), some short grey ones (8.5mm) and a few long grey ones (10mm).
Thanks!

Is anyone having to place shims behind the collet to tighten the flywheel fully? I am using the 3D clutch and flywheel.
I had to put about 2- 3mm of shims behind the collet before it would tighten down. Is this common? It was on a new 35Plus21.

The second choices are the 10 mm JP Worlds spring and the 4D Kyosho spring - it's decent.
I would, also, recommend drilling out the puck to 4mm, all three holes. Brings the RPM up just a touch before the clutch engages.

Thanks Uriah.
I was just using what was in my pit box. Guess I'll have to get some Kyosho colletts.

It's a shame that one has to spend $70.00 plus to get these blocks...and then another $100.00 for the 07 update update kit...if you only have an 05. For those with an 05 WCE...the cost is less.
