[vroom88]

ok i'm new and have recently purchased a dark impact and a mamba max

system well from what i've been reading over the last couple of hours is

that i will need a slipper and as that the tamiya slipper isnt listed on tower

hobbies i was wondering if you can just use the B4 or another makes

slipper clutch and fit it to the stock tamiya shaft

Slippers wont fit stock shaft.

Heres a link to a DF03 slipper kit.

Im not 100% sure on if a B4 spur and pads will fit but worth a try, I have seen a ZX-5 spur and pads used on the df03 and I use a B4 spur and pads on my ZX-5. The B4 spur has a fraction bigger shaft hole but shouldnt be a problem.

Hope this helps

I have the Tamiya slipper and use B4 spur and b4 pads (since I already had some) - much much better than using the .5 module spurs with 48 dp pinions. the sound was horrific.

The hole in the b4 spur just needs reaming out slightly - very gently, since it needs to be centred properly.. it took me a matter of seconds.
The mamba max will kill the rear diff in one lap if you don't put a slipper on there, thats what I found. Even with a slipper the diff slips now since it needs new plates and balls

plus proper diff outdrives, that holds the plates more stable so wont stuff the plates or balls up in the look of an eye.

true - true. I am going to replace mine with metal ones.

I managed to get Tamiya front diff outdrives which slapped right inplace, so am happy, think I might get some CVDs on the rear too.
