Default Slipper?

I'm thinking of buying the x11, after checking out the spec it seem that it doesn't have a slipper?

Thanks Tom,

I downloaded the manual, on page 5 (drive train) it doesn't show the assembly of the slipper to the shaft and I don't see any slipper spring also, disk spring?

What is the spare I need to buy along with this kit? option and upgrade etc?
I understand it take long time for the spare to arrive hence wanted to stock up a bit.

The slipper doesn't have any pads, the plates slip directly on the spur gear. There are 3 spring washers under the nut. For adjustment.

Spares worth carrying are;

front hubs
ball joints (large and small)
front upper and lower wishbones
spur gear
diff gear ( front and rear)
diff plates
front carbon brace

the car is probably one of the strongest and most of those parts rarely break but it's worth carrying some spares. I'd say the most common thing to go in a front impact would be the ball joints or the hub.

Hope that helps
