Slip, Slip, Slipping!!!!!

How tight should that slipper clutch be? I have done the let it cool, quarter turn, 4 times already! Wont even wheelie rightnow its so loose.

What batteries are you running? I had to switch to 4S LiPo to get wheelies; stock NiMh wouldn't do it. Whooeee!! The thing flipped right over b/c I didn't have the wheelie bar on...

I tightened my slipper all the way down, then backed it off 1/2. Seems to be the sweet spot for me.

[Traxxed-3906]

11.1v 3s. I tightened it and it flips over like yours now.

Good to hear it! Now you have to learn throttle control!

I was running the 11.1 packs for a while, but found the truck too uncontrollable.

Enjoy.

[Traxxed-3906]

Uncontrollable, I agree. Esp coming from a 3906 on NIMH!

i usually back off only 1/4 turn on the slipper

You tighten all the way then back off as well?

[50togo]

Yes. Only way to do it!
Now that I am running trenchers I loosened it up a bit to save the diffs

[Traxxed-3906]

I find with the Phaltlines, the tires spin on takeoff if I nail it. So I think with the slipper set where it is, I should be fine.

If you don't hear it slip for a second its too tight. Hard on the diffs when it spins and then hooks up

[4sdash]

you want it to slip alittle which slipper are you running

[50togo]

And I did mean when your tires spin and it hooks up. Not when the clutch slips and hooks up!

I need to back mine off as well. Thanks for this.

[Traxxed-3906]

I may have mines too tight, I will back off a half turn!

[50togo]

Never just back it off. I would tighten it then back it off. That way you will know where your at

[Traxxed-3906]

How tight will it go? will it stop completely? I have it set to where the front tires come off the ground a few inches and thats it. Wont flip backwards or wheelie out of control.

[50togo]

No you just want to snug the nut not crazy tight then back it off
Your sounds like its a bit loose unless your batteries aren't too strong

[Traxxed-3906]

Batteries are brand new. I tightened it 1 half turn. It was slipping a little.

[50togo]

That should work! Anywhere from 1/4 turn to 1/2 is fine
Wheelies depend on a lot of things.clutch adjustment and Tire size and esc settings to name a few
