Try the mugen ultra hard grey spring if you can't get the black hard xray spring and try running less tension on the spring and more end play, that is where the snap comes from the clutch, its all in the end play.

Thank you!! I will give that a try tomorrow while we are testing. I have noticed my clutch is almost to crazy to handle on the first few laps then gets softer and softer as the run goes on. We got our order from RC America today and I hear there are some clutch springs in there.
