So I have received lots of support from this site just in the last few days and it’s greatly appreciated. Thank you to the ones who have answered all my questions. I didn’t want to derail my last thread, here is another question.

Clutch springs...I’m running stock 30cc kingmotor engine right now and not sure what number the clutch springs are. I think they are 6000. Would I want stronger springs on a budget motor? Being a 2wd I want more stability when full throttle from stop or out of corners. Should I just leave the springs stock?

6000 sounds low and shouldn’t snap the rear.

Really need to see a vid of you running to understand if you have an issue. The others here might be more helpful. 👍🏽

I have the Rovan 36cc 2wd and mine comes stock with the "Red" 8000 rpm spring (and I definitely would NOT want a higher rpm engagement). It seems to be a good compromise of low end snap but not too wild with unwanted wheel spin. Clutch engagement is a situational choice type thing. Everyone thinks that higher rpm engagement = better performance and that's not necessarily true. Bashing in loose terrain with a higher rpm engagement is useless as you can't put the power into the dirt and you get lots of useless wheelspin. Too much wheelspin with 2wd can be very frustrating for the driver to control. As long as your clutch pulls hard right from a dead stop with no rpm bog then your GTG .

I run either 6k or 6500k springs in my 29cc Baja and my truck.
The lower rpm engagement allows you to get rolling before the power comes in, it means less wheelspin and less wheelies, but means in general better acceleration.
 
6k in my bajas is what i run and offers better control of the mark but wheelies, well not often unfortunatly

Im running 6k in my losi 5t atm and its a bit boggy of the line will need a 7/8 k spring to get a bit more response off the mark
