that doesnt have anything to do with the engine, your springs probably just broke, upgrade to hpi's racing clutch, its gerat

the springs were fine. the clucth bell was somewhat loose,i tried to tighten it, but would not tighten anymore. the flywheel and clutch bell are all metal.. could it be missing a washer or something?

i dont know what would cause the shoes to just get thrown except fo the spring breaking or the shoes just bending or something like that, just upgrade the clutch to hpi's racing clutch and you will be happy
