HELP - Emaxx Strobe Slipper Q's
 

Just about to get my 9xl setup up and running, but I had a few quick questions. :032: I see the strobe kit and ofna spur do not come with screws. What size screws need to be used to mate the spur to the slipper. Also - that hex drive into the transmission on the Emaxx, is it supposed to fit into the bearing of the slipper -- IE hex plate, metal disk, slipper (with pads), metal disk, finally hex plate? Also how tightly should it be set? Thanks all. Hoping to at least getting putting around this weekend.:027:

It does come with screws, and you should set it pretty tight IMO.

yea, it uses the standard type scew. not sure but i think its a 4-40. length is up to you since they come in so many lengths as well as many people use locknuts on the other side. thats why it doesnt come with any. also, yes, it goes, plate, disk, bearing, slipper w/pads, disk and the the hex plate. followed by a spring and then a locknut. you may have to file the edges for the bearing to fit. im not sre though. i had to when i got the rrp slipper and then i got the strobe so im not sure. as far as how tight, its up to you but i would go as tight as possible (within reason of course) and then back a 1/16 or so off of it.

EDIT: im not sure if sylevester has one or not but mine didnt as well as strobes website says it doesnt come with them...

I thought takes the 3mm metric squee. That is what is in mine. I tapered the spur so the screws are flat and not sticking out. Put some loctite on them to so it would loosen up the screws. I did have to supply my own.

To confirm Squee's statement: you do have to file a little (and I mean a little) off the hex shaft for the bearing to fit. Do just a very little at a time and test fit. It's better to file more off than the bearing to be too loose.

I too used lock-tite instead of nuts, but I didn't countersink the holes. Be careful to tighten the slipper well though; I had mine too loose (and I thought it was tight) and melted my first set of pads.

I took a file held it on the shaft and spun the tire over to rotate the shaft. that away it is even all the way around. It worked for me any how.

as you can see the strobe is pritty simple to install. its a great spure package, because it sells out pritty fast.

I just got my slipper, and it did not come with screws. Had another suggest 4-40, i will need to get four. for the shaft, i took my wifes nail file and took very minimal material off (let's not talk about the repercussion i got from her...15.00 nail file!). it fits like a glove! the problem i'm having is which side of the plate goes into the gear..the dished side in or out?

Thanks all! I'll be going after it Saturday. --now to get some sleep :025:

Final word;
 

No, 4-40 will ruin the thread!

it uses M3 screws!

it does NOT come with screws either!

Don't forget to remove the grease from the bearing.

oops...sorry:007:

no worries Squee.

It was just all these things said in this topic that put dfseidel on the wrong foot.

yep m3 screws worked on mine too.

M3's -- a little filing and awaaaaaay we went! Haven't broken any of the other stock things yet. 'Course that might be because I'm just running 12 cells on a 9xl. I know I know, but I ran out of deans to make the series connection AND get my charger ready :027: Thanks for the help!

Anytime!

Glad to hear you like it.

that 9XL can do nice on 12 cells.
