Losi Slipper Clutch on X6
 
Seen a few people running these instead of the associated one :)

What are the differences other than the slight adjustments working a bit better with the Losi one :woot:

Can someone give me a list of whats required and i will give one ago.

Will it need a new layshaft or will the associated one be ok?

And will the AE 78t spur still be ok to use??

Cheers

Gaz, dont bother mate, the AE is far better in my opinion (i have tried both).

If you do......you need losi spur (78), losi pads x 2, losi slipper plates and the losi spring/cup set (A3124 I think from memnory), but honestky dont waste your time it is NO better, IMHO worse.

We have our own range of machined spurs due out any day and these coupled with the standard AE slipper parts work ace (since the slipper pad "locks" in rather than being loose) and also give the most comprehensive range of spur gear sizes available anywhere too!!!! (70 - 80 all inclusive)

I'm using Trinity BK spur (56dp) and losi friction pads - rest is AE stock.
I belive that it doesn't worth to replace AE spur with Losi one, however it's simple swap. If you really want - you can try.

List what you need - losi spur and pads

Cracking reply :p

Was talking to mr dodd on sunday, great help, great guy and hes using one said he loves it...silly boy hehe!

Problem ive got which is what you may of covered is that the two AE slipper pads might be in the shape of a hexagon but they just dont sit tight enough in the spur gear recess!

Not for much longer mate, our own "Stealth" range will be here and in stock VERY soon, you will love them.

Will have to have words with Mat for running a gay slipper........ LOL :p

Are these new spur gears coming out machined or moulded?

Darren Boyle 03-10-2009 10:02 AM

Machined mate (for precision).........

YoungChazz 03-10-2009 02:22 PM

Even I can't wait. Darren's promised to send me a 70 for my X - 60 in stock truck. Add a 30-T pinion, and dialed! Big fan helps...

trekkerkk 03-10-2009 03:21 PM

ive been using the losi slipper for quite some time,
i personally find it far better than the associated one,

Daz

Defo try one of these buddy, thats the main problem with AE Slipper the fact the pads are not tight in the spurs!!!

Matt

So did you have the AE one on for the qualifing last weekend then.........:p
Seemed to improve a bit in the final for you not one mistake i was watching must of been that losi slipper :thumbsup:
Pitty i had one grip role issue whilst i was leading it and lost a good few seconds getting marshalled, still finished with a cracking time though but Evison beat me to the flag again!!!! :thumbdown:

matdodd 04-10-2009 05:53 PM

Ye I drove clean in the final and did a faster 14 lapper than Chris had done ;) missed your final though sorry dude.

Darren Boyle 04-10-2009 07:07 PM

Mat, maybe the slipper matches the yellow wheels :p ;)

Will sort you out a spur as soon as they come in, I will be sending an email about all the new stuff to the team guys in the coming few days hopefully

matdodd 04-10-2009 07:35 PM

Thanks :thumbsup:,

Yellow wheels are the future though! :p
