Default Yeti XL issues after 6s run.

Hey fellow XL bashers, i picked up a new yeti XL rtr and love this rig! I have given it a couple of runs on 6s and am very happy with how this monster handles over the choppy stuff, however, I did chew out a slipper clutch and when replacing the slipper pads noticed a fair bit of back and fowarth play in the slipper shaft going into the tranny, on the next run The rear driveshaft was also very wobbly at the transmission end causing the truck to look wollby at low speed and overheat very quickly.

Any tech tips on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.

On 6S I run the slipper nut full tight. You have to have some restraint on the throttle on 6S or broken stuff will follow. Get it rolling first before you bring on the power.

As far as driveshaft look here

Cheers Steve and vnemess, will do the driveshaft mod and tighten that pest of a slipper to the max! Luckily I have a spare one handy, will also take it a little easier over the chop and give that poor slipper a less of a workout.
Will let you guys know how it holds up.
