What clearance do you use?
With the 1/10 clutch with the steel clutch bell and dark red shoe I use 0.45-0.50 gap.
With the 1/10 clutch with the aluminum bell and black shoe I use 0.40 gap.
With the 1/8 clutch with the steel bell and standard red shoe I use a 0.50 gap.
For the 1/8 clutch I haven't tested a lot, I've only driven the 1/8 for one test day and one race day and I wasn't happy with the clutch settings yet.
