AX10 spur gear

[muddertrucker]

I bought a ax-10 trany for my scale bronco only to realise it came without the spur gear. After looking things up I realised I was missing the following items.

-spur gear
-gear adapter
-spring
-2x washer
-lock nut

I'm I missing anything and would it be worth getting the slipper clutch. I'm running a stock 27t axial motor with pede trany and tlt axles.

Some people swear by the slipper clutch while others swear it hinders them. I think it is all personal preference and how you like to drive. A slipper clutch can reduce driveline breakage, but it can also hinder you if it slips at a point where you just need a little bit more to get over an obstacle. It also depends alot on your driving style, but in the end it is preference. hope that helps.

I Have ran both and they both worked for me the slipper and w/out the slipper clutch.

[muddertrucker]

Yeah it does help. I don't think I'm one to break much stuff but then again my truck isn't even finished yet. Guess i'll when it gets it's first miles in, but I don't think I'll be needing a clutch.

Spring? I don't remember the non-slipper trans having a spring.

I prefer to run without a slipper clutch. Common sense will tell you when you are stuck STUCK and won't be able to power out. Plus you can't really "power out" with a slipper, as it will slip.

Then again we all fall victim to the occasional "bone headed moves" and you could always play on the side of caution.

I run the slipper and haven't had a problem. I run it pretty tight.

"F" caution in the "A".

Don't use a slipper, and don't be stupid. If it looks like the tires are about to re-tread themselves, they're about to strip gears.

I don't run a slipper because I have common sense

You're right no spring there is a spacer behind the spur gear though. I must have been looking at the rtr pdf by mistake.

Would a spur gear from pede trany fit on the axial trany?

[kortt]

I'd stay away from a metal spur. Just my opinion of course, but in my experience it's always nice to have a week spot some place in the line of power transfer. Spur gears are cheap, and if you have the gear mesh right you should rarely, if ever, strip a spur.

This is the reason I run pede drive shafts instead of steel ones as well, saves on tranny and diff gears.

keep running the plastic spur and go slipper less my rig is step up with out a slipper and have yet to have a problem had it bound up a couple of times prtty hard

[Stormin2u]

I've nevr ran the slipper, I have one but never used it. It's just extra weight in my book.
