Hi i was puzzled with the same problem when breaking in a new enigne, clutch would not engage even revved at a pretty high RPM, i have tried pretty much everyhting but problem persisted , i brought my car to a track and have a local expert looked at it. the clutch was properly set and all number looked decent. When i started leaning out, the problem magically improved to a point it was gone. Xray clutch is rather sensitive, so once you start to leaning out your engine then it will work out fine. You numbers look fine, just give it a try hope it helps

Alright thanks all... I'll accept that everything is right but the engine is too rich engage the clutch properly. I don't want to over rev the motor though. I'm not new to nitro but I'm new to these types of clutches. A standard 2 shoe clutch would definitely engage with the engine RPM I'm seeing.
Any suggestions on how to do the break in then? I guess I'm just going to continue running it like it is (1/4-1/2 throttle to get it rolling), then gradually start leaning out and hope the clutch engagement gets better.

Yup, from the xray forum by Brano Bulko (xray slovakia employee) Silver Springs from kit
The silver rear springs (long) included in the NT1 kits are similar to the #308396 - Spring-Set D=1.7 (28 LB) Violet (4) and the silver front ones (short) are similar to the #338185 Spring-Set D=1.8 (33 LB) Light-Purple (2)

Hi guys, got a question for you all. I would think that this one has come up before. I ran a 45 min main on Sunday and around the 25 min mark the brakes started to fade. What is the best fix for this? I just have stock brakes but wanted to hear your thoughts for this fix. Thanks MK

For anyone looking for more consistent braking using the stock brake pads, here's a cheap easy mod I did to my pads while being bored lol. You just cut material allowing you to use springs that separate the pads from each other after braking. this will reduce the friction created from the disk rubbing on the pads, and your pads will also last longer... 
Pictured are the soft 2speed springs for the NT1, which are the correct length but are just too hard for this operation. the O'donnell brake springs for their ZO1 buggy Is what worked out for me.
Use 2 of the springs on each side, 4 come in the pack.
