the slipper is the same basic design and same materials as the 501X slipper so in essence it's the same. And yes you need to tighten it down if you want to put lots of power down. but it's nice to have that large range of adjustment.

You can do a couple of things to change the slipper if you want. First is a BK2 diff spring to replace the kit slipper spring. This is much harder and will sort it for you. This is the spring that Hupo runs on his 50!X.

Another option is to replace the pads with AE yellow pads if you can find them - as these have more friction. the AE white pads which replaced the yellow are probably pretty similar to the tamiya pads, but you can always try them.

I like my slipper to slip so I've not done either of these things on my Durga, but I do have the BK2 spring on one of the 50!X's
