Thanks for your advice.
One of two things:

1. The clutch nut is loosening itself. (Put alittle locktite on the threads). Check the distance before and after your race, as the heavier springs do put more pressure.

2. The flyweights could be damaged. My 1 club day old 09 had minor cracks around the pin holes on the flyweights. I now run white Kyosho weights drilled out which seem to work alot better and don't mount onto the pins.
