dex210 slipper pads (other)

[Martin Wallace]

hi folks has anyone tried any other type of slipper pads as the nut for my slipper is almost all the way in and the slipper is still turning when i hold the wheel and spur together and rotate the other wheel.

not sure if it is a weak spring or if its a problem with the pads, the kit is brand new and only been ran once at club, where im getting no real on power bite.
i tightened the diff right up to check it wasnt diff realted but it seems to be the slipper.

do the pads need cleaned before fitting or just fit them right away
ive read that guys have tried ae pads.

any thoughts please, thanks

Your layshaft spacer may have worn down, http://www.petitrc.com/setup/durango...perSpacerWear/
AE pads will fit too.

What he said ^^^^ the stock spacer in early kits was a bit soft and could wear down. This should be fixed on anything more recent (a harder part is now available).
AE pads drop straight in most of the time, if they don't, it's only a *tiny* *tiny* bit you need to trim off.
They are a bit thicker than the stock durango pads.

All may need either a little trimming or the hole reamed out

no point getting the HT pads if using rw spurs as you need to make the hole almost as big as the normal ones, not sure if the same applies with the stock spur. I just slapped on the AE VTS set up on mine, seems to do the trick quite well with the new hard anodized layshaft spacer.

Thanks for your input . as above you guys are saying that the spacer is soft and worn down, my slipper nut is tightened near almost all the way in for to get some bite. the car is brand new and noticed it was slipping in the house when i tried it holding spur/wheels etc before majour running.

can the b4.1 vts layshaft,slipper/spur/spring fit onto the 210.(whole assembly) im not a huge fan of the small spring, although obviuosly it does the job. the associated one looks better imo. im also aware that the b4.1 diff fits in also with some shimming, is anyone running that also. probably should have bought a c4.1 but at 95quid you cant knock them back and i like the rango.
just need some bite.
