I had more problems with the standard slipper pads on Sunday. They just wouldn't bite, no matter how tight I adjusted the darn thing.
A friend has kindly provided an HoBao spur gear which comes complete with slipper pads, for me to try. The pad material looks more fibrous than the other pads that I have seen so when I have finished making gearboxes I shall give it a try. The bore of the spur gear is 6mm so I either have to re-profile the inside of the pad to fit the Team-C spur or machine the HoBao spur to take a bearing.
