AE VTS Clutch

The downside to the above slipper is you have to use their spurs whereas the AE VTS slipper will fit all the usual spurs, AE, RPM, etc

Is the back plate on the slipper system on your car, as per the manual it says to use the normal plate behind the spur, as it looks like you havent fitted it? Also how do you set this slipper? Cheers

you keep the original backplate. the VTS kit includes these parts:

I want very much to try this. Because the dual plate clutch significantly increases pad area, there should be a much greater range of adjustment, allowing far finer adjustment. At the same time, the clutch should be better able to handle extreme loads.

I found mine a lot better feel towards the end of the race.

where I'd set the slipper when it was cold and it would be fine, but after 4 minutes it gave the impression I wasn't getting as much drive out of the corners. with the VTS installed it maintains a good consistency throughout the race.

Could someone show a part by part pic of how this goes on? All i did was put 3 wheel bearings on the layshaft then the VTS assembley... No back original spur plate...?

Here you go:

Obviously the references for the SC10 4x4 are not relevent on this occasion.
As mentioned - you still need to use the inner plate and pad. The fitting of that will be in the instructions for your car.

It's exactly the same as normal on the inside of the spur.
The basket has one pad, then the metal disc (which acts as a slipper plate) then another pad and then the outer slipper plate.
Put the v2 spring, washer and nut on and set to taste.

Ahhhh ok, so still use a plate and pad before putting the spur on... 3 pads total

Yip.

And you can get things like these http://www.rcshox.com/ft-vts-garodisc/ to put in it. Fit and forget.
