F/R adjustable slipper?

[joffacn]

Hi
This quote from Jeremy on the RCTech forum:
"My car had the new parts on it that will be in the Worlds/Japan kit that will be released soon. The new front arms, front bumper, new style slipper that can slip f/r equally or f/r individually, inner ball stud mounts, thinner rear swaybar, new shocks, lowered wing mounts I think is all or most of what will be new/different."

Does anyone have info on this Slipper? I saw that they had a Slipper with External adjustment but how does that translate to F/R equal OR F/R individual? It only has one adjustment collar.

Is this Slipper another Option? Any good pics or info?

Nice idea but it won't work unless the spur gear is fixed and can't move along the axle. If you adjust the two sides to different rates the spur gear will just shift and you will have equal pressure on both sides again, no?

Or am I just missing something in the diagrams?

The above diagram would work in a fashion.

The plate on the left hand side of the diagram takes pressure from the spur hub. The plate on the right hand side however is pressured against the opposite slipper pad and can only less than or equal to the pressure on the left hand side AT BEST.

There is no way of making the "slave" slipper on the right hand side stiffer than the "master" one on the left, once you try and tighten it more than the left the pressure will be shared between the pads and the hub will be out of the picture.

So that diagram not truly independently adjustable. For that you would need a double hub of some sort.

I suppose a slipper like that would be better with the "slave" setting at the rear, to take the majority of on-power landing impacts, and the potentially tighter "master" setting at the front to maintain drive?

It does work! Read about it at BJ4's slipper post

OK I see now that the spur hub is supposed to be bolted to the spur.

In that case, yes I can see now how it would work. Clever concept.
