it can handle drivetrain protection easily. that's its original intent. but some folks out there will run it in slip no doubt, be it accident or intentional. so it was almost prudent to try and design in the ability to handle power trimming slip. But that is what makes it so tricky.
I'm telling you though, one time while searching for the over-slip failure point in a destructive test, i dialed in such a perfect slip the truggy became so controllable it was surreal. Haven't taken the time to find it again lately but it's there to be found.

Can you post a picture of the slipper/diff your have or at least the link to it.

Thanks!

You can see a little of it in the picture below:

The dark blue is the spur, the light blue is the tension adjuster. IIRC, the diff casing is threaded so the adjuster screws in/out tightening/loosening the slipper.

Thanks Brian,

I was sketching out some ideas for a CRT slipper when I realized several other have been working on this as well.

Duh!:oh:

here is a little bigger of a pic of the slippery differy

THANK YOU!

That's a great looking set-up! Is there a "differy" hidden there too or just the "slippery"? LOL!

That's a nice wide spur there too! I see there is a grub screw, presumably to prevent the tensioner adjustment from self-adjusting?

Correct - and the oily residue is from wd-40 on the chassis - not the slippery differy leakerly... LOL

I just figured the oiliness was from the exhaust of other stinky nitro vehicles that were on the track previously. :smile:

Is adding "er" to BL terms going to be the next "thing"? :na:

Brian,

It's from the exhaust of all the nitros you pass each and every lap!

a differy is in the middle, same as your differy

lol, passing the nitros isn't the problem; it's keeping my vehicles on the tires that is. I tend to overthrottle it (just because I can) and usually wayyy overshoot jumps and/or go too fast around corners. :whistle:

No kidding. I swear, it's just too tempting to kill the nitros on the straight aways, you know? I love seeing that and all the looks from the sidelines. Cool until you slam into the barrier at the end of the straight. :lol:

where did you here about the new crt? i just heared about it yesterday from rcca. the only pic were in the new gear section and the race coverage. i also started a thred about it

Here is the thread I started about it on the temporary forums:
