Senton Slipper pad wearing out

[Ayeshwdn]

What will happen after slipper pad worn out? What we can experience at running?
Can't we use aluminum sheets homemade as alternate?
I worn my stock spur gear. I changed it to metal. Still having some unusual noice. Think my slipper pad may have a problem. Slipper pad not totally blackened. Very little wear i guess.in high speeds sound gets close to normal. Is it my slipper clutch?

My guess is if they wore out you had them too loose. HR makes aluminum ones.

They are a major pain in the rear to set up properly stick with the stock ones.

Slipper pads are cheap and last a long time if set proprely

Yup my Ecx Ruckus is still running the factory slipper that came with the truck in 2015.

It shouldn't wear out, it's made of garolite/fiberglass. Probably something else is wrong.

I’ve had mine burn up a little from being too loose, but I can’t imagine burning thru them. You would have to ignore your rig not moving and smoke pouring out. ??‍

Have only had my arrma senton a week now but have ran it through its limits already. jumps,2 feet of water, had a rock lodge under the rear spur gear and lock it up. The first thing I did out of the box was tighten the slipper and I keep adjusting it a little at a time. The brushed motor almost pulls the front tires now. check for debris and adjust slipper a little at a time and see what happens. Best of luck.
