Quick question about clutch setup. I went from 3 aluminum with 1.0 springs to 2 aluminum with 1.1 and 1 carbon with 1.0. Is this a big change with 3 shoe clutches?

Reason I ask is the FMS had this short bog, 5 feet or so, when accelerating. Also this was my first time using a 3 shoe clutch setup. I've only used the Losi clutches. Anyway I did the above swap and the thing revs fast, hits the clutch, and almost pulls a frikkin wheely in short grass. So I richened things up just to be sure I wasn't too lean and the engine didn't like the richer settings. So it's definately earns the nickname "the Beast" in my book. Wow.

Gonna try a slightly softer clutch but I'll most likely go up a tooth on clutch bell or down on the spur.
