Dex210 slipper issues

[danny the elfman]

Heys guys. Im having a lot of trouble with the slipper clutch on my 210. On the track last nigt I was getting a huge amount of slip. The diff is good, ive taken that out, put two drivers in the outdrives and couldn't slip the diff gear. So should be an easy fix right? Just tighten the slipper and off I go. But the slipper spring is already at full lock and I can turn the spur with one finger. What can I do? Is it the sring thats the problem? Dont know what else it could be. Thanks for reading

Sounds like your slipper spacer may have worn, add a nitro clutch shim or replace the spacer with the updated part #TD310243. http://www.petitrc.com/setup/durango...perSpacerWear/

Check the above, but also check your pads for glazing too. I would also check the 'load bearing' bearing on the spring side of the slipper assembly as this may have blown also.

Defo a worn spacer if you cant get it to tighten.

Thanks guys. Good to have an explanation at last So is this a common problem with Durnago's without the upgrade part then? Seems a bit silly ive only had it 2 months

Yeh, it is a weak point, but the upgrade part is bang on, think its about £4 but for that I think you wont ever be replacing it again

I think you got it wrong.

If you COULD slip the diff gear then our diff is too loose.

Effectively even with glazed slipper pads, if your slipper is as tight as it can be then there's not going to be any slipping, and it's your diff that is the issue.

I'd tighten your diff up and try again...

Fair enough then... I did wonder if that was a typo...

I'd vouch for the spacer but I don't have enough experience with the car yet...

Just opened it up and its all of those things. Pads glazed, replaced with ae gear. Tube had crushed fixed, with shim. Bearing exploded, cant fix and cant find a spare in the uk. What going on with Durango guys? Ive had this car for mere weeks and its falling apart on me. Only car ive ever had so much trouble with.

you dont have to use a Durango bearing. if you go online many good bearing suppliers have the same size in stock, and sometimes cheaper. i actually bought about 10 of them for £3 off one supplier and so far its the only one thats been in the gearbox
