If the link doesn't work read the thread called Hello Slipper Assembly.

Chippy96 15-07-2012 08:35 PM

it sounds like it will fit Phil,they are being advertised as "B4/SC10" ect ect,I asked as my clutch is very sensitive to adjustment,a slight movement of the nut and it goes from no slip to too much,so I was hoping this would help and give a more gradual adjustment-i`m going to give it a try.....On some of the forums some have commented about the extra rotating mass,but it wont be as heavy as the brass flywheel so I dont see it as a problem-only one way to find out!!!:)

Don't buy anything, we can try mine in the other X6 at the track on Tuesday.
Or if I have time I'll try it tomorrow. The VTS was designed for the FT 4x4.

BeachBuggyPhil 15-07-2012 08:53 PM

It's not very heavy, the basket is plastic.

Not able to test it but easy to try again tomorrow night at the track.

Chippy96 16-07-2012 06:42 PM

oh yippeee:thumbsup:,I wont be there untill 6.30ish,see u then.:D

BeachBuggyPhil 16-07-2012 06:52 PM

I'll be there by about 1530. Batteries will probably be flat by the time you get there!

Did this idea work?

BeachBuggyPhil 18-07-2012 09:35 PM

We didn't run it at the track as it was wet and worsening at the end of racing but I'll try to test it again on Saturday when we do some track maintainence.

Chippy96 18-07-2012 10:47 PM

10ish????:confused:

BeachBuggyPhil 18-07-2012 11:09 PM

See you there.

BeachBuggyPhil 21-07-2012 12:34 PM

It worked.
Chippy tested it, I'll remind him to report his findings but they were positive.
:)

Thanks for the "loan of your clutch" Phil,yes it fits and works very nicely,certainly a good option.The only thing I found was if you are using "E Speed Hangers" then the basket is quite close to the inner ball joint but it doesnt touch (i`m using the RPM ends which are quite chunky)-so it`s not an issue as such,all in all very good. :thumbsup:

I've ordered the VTS clutch too. Going to try it out next race on a dusty clay track.

I'll post my results here too.

BeachBuggyPhil 23-07-2012 05:15 PM

You'll need a V2 spring as well.

skyaflake 25-07-2012 11:02 AM

I thought of that :thumbsup:

BeachBuggyPhil 02-09-2012 08:33 PM

Although it appears to have a smaller surface area there is now an alternative to the VTS slipper.

I'm guessing it's small to fit under the dust cover of a B4 but that's not an issue on an X6.
Chippy and myself are both still using the VTS and are happy with its performance.
