Refine Engagement for Consistent Starts

The Tamiya 53738 - Racing Clutch Spring (Hard) OP-738 offers a stiffer spring choice to help fine tune when the clutch bites, giving drivers more predictable launches and improved traction control on straights.

Compatibility and Expected Benefits

Made with Tamiya layouts in mind, this racing spring suits modelers seeking tighter engagement. It can cut down on unwanted slip under abrupt throttle and works best when combined with matching clutch shoes and corrected gearing.

Installation Notes and Upkeep

When fitting the Tamiya Racing Clutch Spring, clear the clutch of old lubricant and debris, then check shoe surfaces and the bell for wear. Reassess after a few runs and replace the spring if it loses firmness or shows damage.

Is this suitable for club racing?

Yes, many club racers use a harder spring to stabilise launches and improve lap consistency, provided the rest of the drivetrain is tuned to match the new engagement point.

Will this increase wear elsewhere?

A firmer spring can transfer more load to the shoes and bell during engagement, so inspect these parts regularly and replace worn components to avoid premature failure.

How to pick between soft and hard springs?

Choose based on driving style and power output: softer for smoother low speed control, harder for firm launches and reduced slip with higher torque setups. Test both to find the best match.
