| Slipper smoked
So during running in some deep-ish snow this weekend my slipper died... I really didn't use it, kept it fairly tight, but the pad broke apart. So now seeing that everything for the r3 2 speed is backordered, what is everyone using or doing withe a blown slipper? Epoxy it? Gasket material? Sent from my moto g stylus using Tapatalk |

Are the two speed slipper and the single speed slipper clutches different? I don't think they are, I think they might be the same. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk |

Any idea of the pad size used? I would think you could use a different brand's slipper pad, so long as it was about the same size and shape - at least as a short term solution. From images it looks like the RC4WD pads are pretty thick, but I don't own one so can't be sure. What about using a slipper eliminator? You might have to change the way you drive a little but would get you back up and running. |

I have the AX2 tranny in my wraith and ruined the slipper, ended up ordering some spares but then converted to an Axial spur gear and slipper. I can check the measurement of the slipper later tonight if you'd like to see if its the same. the design is kind of bad on the RC4WD slipper, it may be for the best to upgrade to different one or just lock it out.

Last night I was thinking of drilling and tapping the slipper and just screwing both half's together. Sent from my moto g stylus using Tapatalk | |

Okay I opened up my Wraith and it turns out to be the same size as the RC4WD slipper. You could use the Axial slipper pad im pretty sure, its the same dimensions and its in stock at Amain. I assume all you'd need to do is scrape off the old one and the new one has adhesive on one side to stick in on. https://www.amainhobbies.com/axial-s...xi30412/p23157 RC4WD on the left Axial on the right Last edited by HumboldtEF; 01-31-2022 at 07:00 PM. |

Yes all rc4wd slippers are the same as axial as I copied the axial stuff at rc4wd in 2010 But the spur bolt pattern I copied from Traxxas I think. |

The (tranny) spur gear and pinion would have the biggest effect along side a different speed motor. Then there are overdrive and underdrive options for the transfer case if you want the axles spinning at different speed (not great for trailing) Oh and they do offer hardened steel gears for the Yota axle https://www.amainhobbies.com/rc4wd-y...SABEgId-PD_BwE though it doesnt say its compatible with the Yota 2 axles possible becasue it came out before the yota 2's but you may want to double check.
