Has anyone tried these?

They are $$ but look like a quality product? Thinking the input metal may be stronger as well?

Downside, proprietary slipper pads and components.

Looks like a pretty beefy slipper spindle but I don't like the idea of a steel spur gear.

What!?

The exploded view of it makes it look like it would indeed be a stronger slipper, less total parts vs stock and the tension is adjusted by the hex nut.

The whole setup is similar to how Traxxas does their slipper clutches in their 3s models that don’t have a center diff.

I’ve considered getting one for my
v1 Kraton 4s, the slipper in it has been nothing but problems. I haven’t driven it because of slipper issues.

What!?

Yes, I prefer plastic spurs. Need a sacrificial part if that drive train locks up.

As well as being quieter.

As well as being quieter.

What I find odd is I replaced my rear ring gear and input gear to the metal ones and it seems quieter to me than the old plastic ones.

That is odd

Thank you guys! It seems like a fairly new product. I may be the guinea pig .

I don't have too much trouble with the BLX slipper though so .

Let us know how it works out. I don't have much problem with my slipper after a slight learning curve of properly setting it.

Interesting

Does the 4s slipper clutch fit the 3s blx models? I have the senton 3s blx.

 

[RCbuzz]

I beleive it is the same clutch but with a narrow metal spur (vs. a wider plastic spur).

You can check the exploded views on the arrma website though for part numbers.

Thanks I'll check that out.
