I'm blown away more that you've answered everyone's questions in detail. You sir are a quality YouTuber! Most of these rc channels never answer questions and comments. Kudos

I was about to give up on my ARRMA Vorteks because two issues I had and din't know they were related to the slipper clutch.
Thank you sir, this video fixed both the issues I was having.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! My slipper clutch has been given be nightmares for the last 6 months and finally this has sorted it. Can’t thank you enough!

[Boogie_the_cat]

Thank you SO MUCH. I read forums, I scratched my head, I was too tight, then I was too loose... All I wanted to do was replace my plastic spur with a steel spur, I don't know a slipper clutch from a slip-and-slide.
Following your directions was easy. I'm a visual learner, and you made it simple.
This is my first hobby grade, and there is a learning curve when it comes to wrenching on my Granite.
Thanks to you and LocTite, I'll be back on the trail tomorrow.

PS: anyone looking for good 1/10 scale tires should check out Amain Hobbies Upgrade RC brand Dirt Claw 2.8 off-road tires.
I'm never buying crappy dboots tires again. Dirt Claw tires are supple, deep tread, glued perfectly, grip like hell, and they don't rip off the wheel catastrophically like the dboots Fortress MT tires.

I've been out of the RC hobby for the better part of 10 years but got bit by the bug after watching you, kev, claire and the rest of the crew's videos. It's been well over a year since I've found all of your channels and in researching what rig to get I've been torn between a trx4 or one of the 3s/4s arrma rigs (Arrma wasn't even a company yet when I sold all of my old stuff years ago). Really impressed with the outcast 4s and the body on it is simply bad ass. Thanks for the videos and the how tos. Cheers from Michigan!

ive been messing about for 3 weeks trying to sort the slipper out on my granite, this was very helpful, thanks a million

[pugsly]

Wow thanks so much I’ve overheated my clutches cause they were too loose a burning smell now when I did your method the truck has a lot of power and no more overheating!! Thanks 😊 a bunch

[PeighUpRC]

Thank you for this video. This helped me immensely. I couldn’t find the right way to set the slipper clutch was either to tight or to loose and now it’s perfect. Can’t thank you enough.

Thanks for the video. Took my granite 3s blx with 3s battery out for the first time just sidewalk and street doing wheelies and drag, speed at 50% since i'm new. Popped the RR CVD after 20 mins maybe. Ordered some new stock cvd's and some gpm steel ones. Just did this slipper trick and letting thread lock dry. Set the punch setting to 1. Hoping these will help once new cvd's are installed.

Thanks for putting together this video. I have a Granite 3s and Typhon 3s and they are great cars. I'm just getting into the hobby really but I have learned so much from RC veterans like yourself. The first thing I do after a run is clean the car. I set it on my bench so I can inspect it and tighten stuff up before I go out for my next run. I sure wish I would have checked my slipper clutch before I went out today. Thanks again for the video. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[frankposterello]

Thank you! Arrma has out of date wrong videos, and nothing in the manual, about how to do this! Even though the tool you get matches the tool in the incorrect video. This helped a lot.

[stradale]

I really needed that video, yesterday I tried to tighten it up as much as possible and I managed to snap the thing where the spring sits so I watched a couple of videos of other ytbers and no one said how much force I need to tighten it properly ("tighten it so it's snug"etc.) I'm going to buy a new part and try your technique it's really easy and I'm hoping for it to work

[edygome]

Perfect! I need to try this!
New to the hobby, and can't seem to get more than one battery in with my Kraton 4s without issues.
Slipper clutch screw loosens.

Going to try this!

Thanks!!

[Wacypro]

Thank you so much! I had set my slipper too tight after a spur gear replacement on my Senton. That cock up cost me a new spur lol

[monkeytrident]

Nice video this will help us noobs with how to take off the clutch assembly many thanks.

[Moggmodels]

Fantastic video mate mine slipper clutch on my arrma vorteks 3s keeps slipping so I'm going to do what you did and see if that works OK 👍

[kjetilpedersen]

Thanks for sharing this with Us 🙏😇 Now i can fix my Big Rock

[Clavitz]

This will help me with my Vorteks.

Thank you very much

Hi there. Just received a BRCC and was going to do this as part of the general tweaking and checking before I let the kids lose on it. Im a total noob and trying to learn fast. Can you explain what are the typical "symptoms" youd get that would warn you that the slipper was too tight or too lose. The electronic whining I hear before movement seems fairly universal as does the car "clicking. " The vehicle moves like a scalded cat so Im not experiencing any performance issues (yet). Even so, I feel like I should check this, as youve kindly taken the trouble to make the video. Thanks very much for a great channel. I`ll be doing the wing upgrade next !!

Thanks for the Video buddy, you have earned a sub been trying to find this answer for about 2 days but it was like dropping in a wormhole, hopefully this will work .
