Just try the Shepherd spring 610407 combined with the light weight weights. 80% of all top-drivers do. You will have the possibility to have a better engage without slip and with or without higher rpm. And that for less then half of the price...

If this would be better, it would be adopted by the top-drivers long time ago.
And why is the Shepherd spring most used? Because it is the hardest spring to find in the world of RC racing.
Now I have a 88 cent costing spring I can renew every race if needed and so far I can see working better than all others I have tried.

Beside that all, you have tried is as you said, so you also have the urge to try something when you see it. What parts manufacturers show us and sell us does not have to be the best options. I now know for sure if you want a good spring that will not loose its strength by the influence of the pre-tension and heat it will cost you some money because the expensive materials.

And do you know what is fun with this spring?
With combaning thicker and thinner rings as parallel and serie stacking you can change the working
