Default Losi Slipper Clutch on X6

Seen a few people running these instead of the associated one

What are the differences other than the slight adjustments working a bit better with the Losi one

Can someone give me a list of whats required and i will give one ago.

Will it need a new layshaft or will the associated one be ok?

And will the AE 78t spur still be ok to use??

Cheers

Gaz, dont bother mate, the AE is far better in my opinion (i have tried both).

If you do......you need losi spur (78), losi pads x 2, losi slipper plates and the losi spring/cup set (A3124 I think from memnory), but honestky dont waste your time it is NO better, IMHO worse.

We have our own range of machined spurs due out any day and these coupled with the standard AE slipper parts work ace (since the slipper pad "locks" in rather than being loose) and also give the most comprehensive range of spur gear sizes available anywhere too!!!! (70 - 80 all inclusive)

I'm using Trinity BK spur (56dp) and losi friction pads - rest is AE stock.
I belive that it doesn't worth to replace AE spur with Losi one, however it's simple swap. If you really want - you can try.

List what you need - losi spur and pads

Cracking reply

Was talking to mr dodd on sunday, great help, great guy and hes using one said he loves it...silly boy hehe!

Problem ive got which is what you may of covered is that the two AE slipper pads might be in the shape of a hexagon but they just dont sit tight enough in the spur gear recess!

Are these new spur gears coming out machined or moulded?

Even I can't wait. Darren's promised to send me a 70 for my X - 60 in stock truck. Add a 30-T pinion, and dialed! Big fan helps...

Daz

Defo try one of these buddy, thats the main problem with AE Slipper the fact the pads are not tight in the spurs!!!

Matt

So did you have the AE one on for the qualifing last weekend then.........
Seemed to improve a bit in the final for you not one mistake i was watching must of been that losi slipper
Pitty i had one grip role issue whilst i was leading it and lost a good few seconds getting marshalled, still finished with a cracking time though but Evison beat me to the flag again!!!!

Mat, maybe the slipper matches the yellow wheels

Will sort you out a spur as soon as they come in, I will be sending an email about all the new stuff to the team guys in the coming few days hopefully
