'Rat and the B4 slipper

[Miggers]

What's the reasoning with fitting a B4 slipper to the Mad Rat?

Is the B4 slipper that much better?

Is it because the B4 slipper gives access to a greater range of gearing
with the various B4 spurs?

Tell yer Uncle Miggers please.

It is better...

[Miggers]

In what respect DCM?

Curious because I can get my stickies on a 'Rat slipper for
pence compared to the rather more expensive B4 jobbie.

one of the main reasons is to replace the slipper pads. the kit pads are ok but the plastic content in them means when they heat up they lock the slipper plates and transfer the power of the motor strait though the gearbox hense the idlers stripping.

another reason is it helps move the motor over the rear axles and can iprove the rear end grip.

I see max.

Surely though,the B4's pads fit into the spur so is it not possible
to use just the B4 spur/pad combo with 'Rat slipper plates?

There is no need for buying AE spur. You can just remove the material from the Ansmann spur and glue the AE pads right on. Works fine!

Hi all, the best way is to machine the Ansmann slipper plates and use Associated pads and spur.
