But with alum shoes you will have to take the bell off after every race day and trim the " mushroom " affect off. Going to 1.1 springs with your stock shoes will also give alittle more snap. Try some scotchbrite pad on the inside of the bell to. Because you can get slippage from the bell being dirty, and spray your stock shoes with brake cleaner at the same time you clean the inside of the bell.
I have trimmed the shoes. I will go ahead and order some 1.1 springs. The mugen clutch shoes I have are the regular aluminum ones. I would prefer to stick with the carbon shoes though as it is a little less maintenance, but if the aluminum shoes will make a big difference I will use them. I mean my brothers losi 8ight rtr has more punch than I do.
