Heat/slipper problem
After a day of racing my diffs always feel gritty. It seems that after 2 batteries the diff plates are worn. I never had this problem with the 511.
Now i have found the cause: Before i go racing I adjust the diffs and slipper in a way that the diff are smooth and not slipping. The diffs are prevented for slipping by a correctly adjusted slipper. So far so good.....
But when racing the motor will get warm/hot. The heat is contucted through the motormount to the slipper. And the slipper gets tighter and tighter, resulting lack of slip. In that way the diffs starting to slip due to the forces on the transission. After 5 minutes of racing the diff plates are worn out.
Associated and other brands uses plastic bearing holders to prevent the heat condution from the motor mount to the slipper clutch.
Anybody found a solution for this heat problem?
