Would the metal slipper sleeve (4S) help prevent this happening again?

I’m all ears…@Velodromed has a little trick, quite useful!!
I imagine steel/ CNC'ed alloy is best.Would the metal slipper sleeve (4S) help prevent this happening again?

I have cracked and chipped old slipper hubs still working with a simple bearing sleeve over the rear hub. I just Dremel and pop out the inner race from an old crunchy bearing and slide it over the end. Have it on all 5 of my 3s cars for the last year and no broken rear hubs since.I’m all ears…
“Would the metal slipper sleeve (4S) help prevent this happening again?”Arrma now makes a band that helps with that issue: I have one on backorder at Amain Hobbies.

Yeah I have one and don’t like it. Ill still test it to compare but will stick with the bearing race mod on my other cars.Arrma now makes a band that helps with that issue: I have one on backorder at Amain Hobbies.

Yeah that sleeve that they’re selling, it feels too light and when I was tapping it to my teeth it feels like pot metal or alloy, so no clue what it is. I know that the inner bearing races are tougher than hell.A salvaged BB outer race of the proper I.D. is super hard and strong.
Will never break.
Back order till feb 23’ in the UK. Seems a popular part despite being obscure.The OE 4s sleeve is probably alu. Probably, basically similar being a large large type Crush Sleeve like those used on the Safe-D 6s Arrma motor shafts.
But hey if it works, its an option, if easier than sourcing a BB race???
