Slipper Clutch

The difference between properly setting your slipper clutch and not setting it correctly.

Not sure, the name I think is axle beadlocks, they are in a green box and I use the big Joe tires. You have to glue the beadlocks as well or they still rip out. I have had best luck with this combo on and off road for control and grip. They sound awesome on the road too!

@warrantfan96 Not really, in fact the slipper cluch will loosen the more you drive the truck. You should check it once in a while to make sure it does not slip. The clutch does wear a little after time and will start slipping.

Do you have a link to the ones you use? Thanks for the information by the way. Helping me a lot :)

You have to back off a little, if you make it too tight you can damage the motor or trans if you hit something or slam the throttle. More than likely you will strip a gear in the trans. Doing a back flip with the chassis extension will strip a gear ;) If this happens get an HD steel gear.

It gets worse with the chassis extension kit. I use aftermarket beadlocks (stock hex) and just keep checking them to see if they are getting loose. Hex upgrade is better but larger wheels might not be good.

I try the full flip and my back wheel keeps coming off now lol. Always a problem. Has that happened to you? I was reading the 17mm conversion is the way to go. Thing just has so much torque.

So what is the correct setting for it? I have been reading to fully tighten it. I bought some new batteries with a higher C-rating and expected the car to scream. It went slower actually. Figured out my slipped clutch was a bit loose. Its fully tightened right now and screams but not sure it does the full flip. I think the manual states fully tight and back off 1/4 a turn. Is that correct or do you run fully tightened?
