These were known for having pretty crappy slipper pads and it totally did, unless it was set to locked out without any slip they would give up after a few races and even when locked out they would give up after a few months.

Thats why RW Racing released a spur gear for the TM2 that allowed you to use slipper pads from Schumacher/Durango/AE etc. So I got one of these with some fresh Schumacher slipper pads...

4 races later the pads have glazed over and slipping like mad. I've not been racing for forever but in my 3 years I've never had issues with slipper pads & never even needed to replace any on my previous cars, so not sure whats the best way of fixing this issue?

I did notice the metal slipper hub was very smooth & shiny (I didnt touch this when fitting the new pads) so I have roughed this up slightly with some scotch pad.

Should I be attacking the slipper hub with some fine wet/dry paper? If so, what grade?

Use Yokomo or associated slipper pads. You want to leave the metal as it is, just ensure its clean and smooth.
