Constant Slipper issues

[carlin]

Hi Guys,

Just wondered if anyone has had the constant same issue that I'm having.

I have gone through 9 slippers & spur gears.

I have spoken to few driver been very helpful but tarted scatching heads

But the issue i did find the kit spring i had the coils thickness was thinner than the new one i had & also smaller softer to compress.

Anyway i have put the new spring in place & tighten up the slipper still having the issue
As for the kit setting it just slips like mad, so i was advised to tighten it up as far as it goes try this out. I did this & still slipped but lasted longer than normal.
This is whats happening it's taking the centre out of the spur melting because of the heat & slipping.

Just like to know if anyone had the same problem,because it's getting to the point where i just want to place it in the bin & burn the god dam thing.

It's been like this from purchase, i thought the problem went away for one day but has come back.

So you have changed the spring and also nipped the nut up as far as possible??
Was the 1st spring stiffer than the 1st?

You are making sure that when you nip the grub screw up you are putting threadlock on it and screwing it down onto the flat part of the slipper??

Hi Mate,

The old spring was softer & the new one was thicker coils/harder.
The old one the coils was thinner too.

But when fitted the spur could still turn by hand.

Yes the nut was fully tightened up & the car was undriveable lifting the car front end.
Lock tightened up & checked.

When it was fully tighten the car would wheelie & then started to feel nice after first minute.
Then started to slip,was stripping it's taking the centre out of the spur.
Today in the final spur was good for first few mins then started to slip & stripped again.

Oh if you like to know I'm only running 6.5t X12 motor which i thinking of changing to 7.5t too

Like you have said....something is seriously wrong. Contact Team-Durango direct, im sure that they will sort you out. Is there anybody that you know runs a Durango? You could swap slippers to make sure that its nothing to do with your Speedo settings or something daft like that??
It might mean that you have to get a full new slipper set, not sure how much that would cost but at least you wouldnt burn the car....Let us know what happens!!

Yes we have compared with few of the guys i run with,i have set mine to thier settings mine it so lose compared to theres. So i have to tighten mine up alot more.
As for talking to Durango much use as .........
Yeah looks that way buying new slipper etc but wow how expensive
Rather annoying seeing this has ben like it from day one.

The only other problem i can think is I'm very aggressive with the trottle causing the problem. But seems more like thier manufact issue on the slipper.

Hey Jamie C can i borrow your slipper if you reading this lol.......
