Default Slipper for my xls

Hi guys I need a layshaft and slipper for my xls runner...can anyone help me out?

I think from reading Luke's thread that the U1214 Bosscat unit is a good option and enables RW spurs to be used......all help much appreciated.

Dan

What are you going to be running through it pal lipos or nicads as if your useing lipos you will need the bosscat one which are like rocking horse do do but if your not running that power through it you could use the wasp or Procat slipper.

I have drawn up a conversion shaft for my bosscat to run a modern slipper (b4 style) but I don't know how popular this would be. Seems like a few out there want to run their old cars with modern power

Tell me more I would be very interested in 1 or maybe 2 if you could get one to fit the mms layshaft

I luckily picked up a BossCat slipper assembly from Paul (CAT3K)... but i've realised since just how few & far between they seem to be - i'm also surprised just how popular the Bosscat 'Sport' must have been!

I'd be interested in a layshaft being machined that allows the use of a double disc slipper assembly - as this has got to be better than the single disc BossCat Item... would be nice if it used parts from a later Schumacher e.g K1 or Cougar SV or KF (to keep it all the same brand)

As Dan says, any chance of a SV based slipper conversion?

Would be interested in a lay shaft if it stayed with schuey parts..

That's the type of input I was hoping for, thanks guys. I wasn't sure if a b4 type dual slipper would be preferred for simplicity and ease of parts, or if I should keep it Shuey. I'll do some checking with my machinist and see if he is willing to experiment. I just ordered a sv2 slipper set from a US seller so I should have it soon to experiment with
