I remember someone posted that the slipper pads fit one way only on each side of the spur so stampy is correct

[stampede vxlboy]

there is no special way to put the slipper pads on. as long as there 2 slipper pads on 1 on each side it work . if that the case your the only person say it

[PaulRotheram]

Sometimes there is a rough side and a smooth side.. this I think is the point trying to be made.

[chris_trcc]

trying to be made lol. what im trying to say is that yes, the slipper pads do go in both sides of the spur like it shows in the manual. but it dosnt show that the slipper pads should go in a certain way on both sides of the spur, rough side of the pads against the disc assembly. then you dont have to go mad tightning up the slipper

[bigred5765]

rubbish it truly makes no difference which way around you put them in the slipper, they are tightened down that tight that rough or smooth side as you put it will make no odds at all, and the moment it slips,and they always do they become smooth,its the alloy parts that need to be ruffed up from time to time,

thanks bigred5765 i will try and make it ru n better when i get better

[chris_trcc]

cool, just thought this could of been his problem. but i still dont get you. so when the pads get worn, whats the point in buying new replacment ones, if its the alloy parts that needs to be done instead.

[Dazzler]

I would replace them if they were to get contaminated with grease / shock oil etc or if they were to be damaged when assembling the slipper, i.e you dont get them located correctly and tighten it up without noticing. You really should try not to get grease near the pads. When putting the slipper together, I'd turn the car on it's side and make gravity work in my favour rather than against me by having the car on it's wheels. The slipper will go together easy enough. And ultimately it will wear.

[stampede vxlboy]

i would not put grease on the slipper when you spin the back wheels should they spin free and start notching when it about to stop spinning .spin it by free hand

[chris_trcc]

where i put the greese is on the back of the slipper pad so wont affect the slipper at all, just makes life much easyier building together inbetween racing

if you put grease behind the pads when the slipper slips it gets hot,this will melt the grease and allows it to contaminate the pads then there screwed,even if you use heat resistant grease when it spins up it will fly out and contaminate the pads, the way to hold the slipper pads to the spur is use a very very small spot of super glue in one place to hold the pads to the spur,or as already mentioned use gravity and build it on its side,

[super__dan]

If a slipper is being used correctly then the pads glaze, this happens quite quickley but then stays consistent for a while. Eventually they glaze badly and then the stick/slip point will be inconsistent so time to rebuild. You can of course flip them but also if not bad you can recover them a few times by scraping the glaze off. I do this using a scalpel blade and scraping the glaze off on a flat hard surface.

Though hard anodized the plates do wear but at a slower rate, I use more slipper than than most and so change them once a year when my car gets a full rebuild. I'll have gone through a few sets of slipper pads in that time though.

I wouldn't ever put any kind of grease or oil anywhere near any parts of the slipper, just before assembling everything gets cleaner in brake cleaner so squeeky clean.

SO DOES THE WHEELS START S NOTCHING WHEN YOU SPIN THEM BY FREE HAND WHEN THEY STOP SPINNING ITS LIKE IT START NOTCHINE WHEN IT STOPS SPINNING

[Northy]

Maybe

[Mike Hudson]

Sounds like a rare riddle to me does that...

Well, maybe it will, maybe it won't....

If you still have the motor fitted and pinion / spur meshed then you will see the 'Cogging' of the motor exagerated through the wheels.

The extent of this will be dependant on motor winds / type etc. Turn a motor by hand, you will feel the cogging effect caused by the magnetic fields.

If the motor / pinion is removed, then the transimission should be smooth.

[stampede vxlboy]

its fine when the pinion off but start doing it when i spin the wheels by hand that all but sound good when running it .but by hand it sounds like cogging when the wheels stop spin

It's something you will see and feel more than hear, from what you have said, i'd put it down to cogging of the motor. But it's worth checking for any debris or damage to the spur or pinion - just to be sure. Make sure the motor feels to be turning by hand properly too.
