It's not the throttle linkage, it seems I just have to get to a higher RPM to get rolling.

What springs are you using at the moment?? How long have you run that clutch?? The whole idea of needing higher RPM to engage your clutch is to make it basically make it take off faster. What do you mean by carbon?? Do you mean some aftermarket choes or have you mistaken the plastic/composite losi shoes for carbon?
