Where to buy Strobe Slipper?
You guys have sold me on the Strobe Slipper. But who has them? Everywhere I go they are out of stock. Help!
|
Best bet is ebay. The company has stopped making them for some reason.
Best slipper on market and they stop making them. Go figure. |
True...they were the best. Seems like that happens a lot in RC. Kinda like the Powerstroke shocks!
|
I'm sorry to see that Strobe stopped production. I guess I will have to stick with the Robinson slipper. Where can I get some 14 tooth 5mm bore 32p pinions, since RCM is sold out of them?
|
i jsut PM'd the answer to you
|
You can adapt the ofna 51 spurs to fit the robinson slipper. How about that!?
|
That would work yes! How about the pads serum? LOL
|
What about them? it uses the robinson pads..
|
I was being sarcastic. I know they use the rr pads! Silly goose! i was wondering at one point if you flip the strobe pads if those could be used with the rr clutch set up....almost tried it on my girls truck!
|
LOL! the slots don't quite match the rr slipper..
It was too obvious that it wasn't a mistake Newe.. |
HEHE, that's why you flip'em! have the smooth part contact the RR, don't think it would work properly, but hey, it's my girls truck not mine!!!!
|
They make a rr to fit a monster gt. I don't know if they have a plastic one or not.
|
Robinson Racing's slipper is a good quality peice..I used one on my Emaxx before I got a strobe for mod-1. Don't see much of a reason to upgrade unless you require mod-1 gears.
|
Good quality piece, but the slipper isn't consistent.
|
Fair enough, I admit I never used my Emaxx on a track with it fitted, only bashing, and it was fine for that - I run it pretty tight, so it only really kicked in on landings and violent takeoffs where the tyres actually got grip, so I didn't eat an idler.
|
Well I have a brand new slipper, black ofna gear, and sprong kit sitting in my parts box all NIP. I havent decided what I wanted to do with it yet. PM me and offer, I may just accept it.
|
Thanks for all the offers to sell me a Strobe. The problem is that I like to have a consistent source of replacement parts, especially pads. I hate trying to scrounge up obsolete parts at the last minute before I can run my truck. The RR slipper isn't too bad, but as noted it can wobble like heck! Hopefully, the Slipperential from Mike will be out soon.
|
No problem. I also a new set of pads to go with it. Finding replacement pads wouldnt be a problem. You can still get them direct from strobe. i emailed him not too long ago about them and he said he had lots left over.
|
I have extra pads for my Strobe as well, but I found that once you get the slipper tightened enough where it won't slip needlessly, yet offer some protection, the pads last a LONG time.
|
It seems as though your only options are a used Strobe, a used Kippster, or a RRP...I have all 3 and the Strobe is the best, but...I think the Kippster would be the best if it used mod1 spurs. You can use a mod1 spur on a RRP but not a Kippster...Odd thing is that the Kippster uses the RRP spurs...Reason it won't fit is because the Kippster's mounting tabs are connected instead of machined out. I think its a little bit better..but...what ever...Sorry for rambling on...
|
I bought a few 52 tooth associated plastic gears for the MGT. I plan to try to adapt one to the robinson setup i got
