Ceramic Slipper pads?

[Timo_Geens]

Hello,

I think that ceramic slipper pads for x flux v2 don't exist,? I cant find find them,2 local shops told me they don't exist... is there an alternative? Diy? Is completely tightening the nut the only way to prevent them from melting?

Maybe try showing the clutch pads you have on the truck then, the truck looks nice but lacks showing the part you are seeking.....

I run my slipper on my X with a .32 axial engine tight all the way, it will still slip under heavy stresses

Why ceramic discs, I have never had an issue with stock type talking nitro though!

I drove like 3 batteries, tightened the nut completely, untightened 1/4 turn, smelled burned and lost power (to) fast for the money this vehicle costed, I'm more satisfied with my sons traxxas 2wd slash...

You must have missed what I said above. so will reiterate again "tighten the nut fully and leave it alone" no need to loosen it at all... once it starts slipping lay off the power and check the slipper for burned or glazed pads.

In my opinion, you should get the #160130 - Center Diff Set, install it with 500k diff oil, and then tighten the clutch all the way. Slipper clutches are for lightweight rc's not for a 1/8 monster truck, but HPI insists on using them on every savage... The best thing I did to my savage was get rid of the gear box and install the Alza center diff kit.

I ordered the pads, but will order the center diff anyway to, thx for the help guys cant wait to drive it as it should...

 

[Timo_Geens]

I ordered the 160130 to with 500k oil, i trust u
