Neu Castle 5600 and Sidewinder 3 and Slipper Clutch

[Jinglebob]

All I can say is this thing is stupid fast. I can now use it to Rock Bounce. Which watching TC in showtime is the entire reason I bought one of these things. So now for the questions.

1. My Slipper clutch seems to slipp a little to much at times under load. Is there a way to tighten it up? My entire drive train is stock and I am replacing things as they break.

2. My Daughters Ridgecrest is slipping also with a 12 Turn Titan installed. Is this the same Transmission or the AX10?

does anyone have an answer to this? Do I just tighten up the nut on the slipper clutch?

Yes tighten the nut. But doing so is gonna really start breaking stuff.

Thank you. I will see what I can break. For some reason this ridgecrest just keeps breaking or losing screws from everything. Its really annoying. the 12T titan really works well in it though. Any idea where I can order some robinson gears at for these? Super shafty is out of stock. I live in South Korea now so its not easy to just go to the LHS.

I guess my next upgrades after that on both will be the Integy metal center drives, Vanquish drive shafts, and hubs. They both already have different front steering and a 25t servo Horn.

I tightened my slipper nut all the way. It still slips at times but rarely.

I'm running the axial universals with great results. After about a year of hard use the drive flanges have been deformed.

But that's normal in my mind considering I run 1/8 motors on 6s.

I have used the Integy drive shafts and do not recommend them. The output yokes are too soft and the pins oval out. however Integy offered to replace them for about half price. I would go with the MIP drive shafts
