I named the bearing race sleeve the Velo sleeve because I saw @Velodromed do it and thought it was a great Idea. I had a few bearings laying around.My question would be is this slipper eliminator made from a stronger material than the stock slipper hub. Even under 3s power the rear of the hub likes to chew itself apart on the input to the differential. 4s or more just shines a light on the issue. Arrma has addressed the issue of the end of the slipper hub mushrooming out with the introduction of the v2 versions of the Outcast and Kraton 4s models with ARRMA part #ARA311157 I've read somewhere that a simple fix is to use the inner race of a hub bearing and dremel out the tower/diff cover/chassis area to allow the bearing race to fit. 3 bucks vs an hour of hair pulling on the bench, personally I'll just buy the sleeve Either mod is bound to be great for the mushrooming part, but only time will tell if it's going to hold up on the inside of the hub or not. Also, if you choose to go the route of eliminating the slipper, you may want to look into some better driveshafts. The ujoints in the plastic slider shafts are notorious for spinning out of the knuckles when a slipper is too tight.
Add on, a quick search on ebay found steel spurs as few as 47t on 0.8mod and 39t on mod 1 cut
Nice that Arrma addressed the issue and I will have a few in the toolbox soon.
I picked up a 45t mod 0.8 on Amazon and drilled the center hole out. Need to drill 2 smaller holes for the bolts and I will give that a shot with the 34t pinion.
I really wanted to test the new warehouse with some solid trigger time today so I slapped the 26/50 in for after work.
Thanks for all the help guys!
