will adjusting my slipper clutch on my 13.5 mudboss big block help it from spinning out coming off the corner on a dirt oval

[floridaboyoutdoors]

Got my RC truck in a ditch full of water now my slipper is slipping very badly do I need to replace the slipper pads or will they dry out and work properly

[dosfeos]

Does this also work for the traxxas slash 2wd with a lcg?

[ruudxd]

The slipper on my LST is very easy accessible..
Can you guys make an video for 4WD cars to?

Tried this with my RC10B4.2. No front lift at all, even after several turns (spring almost fully compressed). Decided that can't be right. Loosened it several turns. Buggy still runs well including wheel spinning on asphalt. Any thoughts?

I have a ECX Ruckus 1:10 brushed 2WD kit and just replaced the spur gear with metal. I think I've tightened the nut all of the way down on the slipper and can't seem to get the front wheels to come off the ground. Is that an issue? In fact, it seems to do the same thing, really nothing, whether I tighten or loosen the nut?

thanks finally got my t4.1 3s lipo under control

Hi, Could you kindly help me to program my brushless esc for my HBX Hellhound 1/10 2wd SCT. According to the program card I actually need fine tunes for below segments
Low Voltage Cutoff
Start Modes
Max Brake Force
Max Reverse Force
Neutral Range

Tnx!

Good info, but doesn't really apply to 4WD vehicles or any that do not have an easily accessible adjustment.

[joshuayuhas]

[coreycoleman]

Got a rc car and it won't move when I put it down on the ground but when I pick it up it takes off what do I need to do

[lordraptor]

yeah dont work tried factory settings so thought i would try this one, guess what i can lock my slipper down and the front wheels wont pull off the ground like in this vid, and the slipper assembly gets hotter than my brushless motor ( my motor runs 130 F after a run)

You always have to make sure to adjust your gear mesh before doing anything with your car.  About the summit, please check out your manual it will have all the proper methods to achieve this.
