Typhon To much end play?

[SenorWickedStix]

There’s a fair amount of end play in the slipper clutch assembly in the case. Maby 1mm or so. Is this normal?

That is completley fine and normal. All of my slipper modules do that

Ok. Cool. It’s my first so I wasn’t sure. Lol.

Yeah that's normal. Once the driveshaft is on it helps hold it back.
I added a shim on mine too take up the play though.

For sure, there is more play than you would think.

Be sure to check those bearings on the slipper though, when they are too far gone and the "side to side" play is too much, the spur can rub against the case making a fine black powder that will destroy the motor bearings.

Exactly. I noticed the spur rubbing on the case on the inside edge so I put all my shims to the inside so it would get pushed towards the rear diff.

Precisely what happen today with gf's typhon. Bearing locked up and destroyed spur gear. Easy fix as I had parts.

Request to Arrma, please up-size bearings.... We are waiting

P.S. maybe design a sealed power module and stronger slipper hub as well

Thankfully I think caught it before that happened.
