If youd see it go tonight youd understand, it was rapid and was as quick as my 2wd so means if i get it right it will be a lap quicker and that may put me up there within the top 40 in the uk. Fyi my 2wd was stunning and chuffed my lazer was fractionally quicker.
Cant wait for those belts

Welshy, I may have a few ideas, how should the slipper slip to be correct? what problems are you running into now?
From what I remember your design of using the B4 slipper pads works, but the only problem I see that is, we are still using the lazer's original aluminum slipper hubs. When using the original slipper hubs, I believe only 1/2 of the pad is used. Why not try to see if the B4's slipper hub would fit (Part numner 9604). From what I see on their manuals, most of the slip pad is covered when it is assembled.
With this, it may be easlier for you to set your slipper to the correct slippage. There are a few advantages when using a larger diameter slip hub: 1. Don't need to tighting the bolt too much as more surface is being contacted on the pad thus less stress on other parts 2. Less wear on the pad 3. More degrees of fine tuning 4. More adjustability.
Worst case scenario is that the Associated B4 slipper hub can't fit on the Lazer. When that happens, I am more than happy to custom make some with blue anodized alloy. If they are not that expensive to make, I can always make them out of Titanium. It is only 6 times more expensive than anodized aluminum, but you will never have to worry about it.
Wouldn't it be cool to see this on the Lazer? Vented slipper hubs
