Interesting mod himalaya... I may need to make one for my Rustler. It eats slipper pads concurrently for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If I tighten it enough to save the pads it just spins out all the time. Seems like the combination of the larger surface area & slicker surface would allow finer adjustment(?).

Looks like a nitro brake pad could be modded to work. My ofna ultra vehicles use some sort of fiberglass pad... I will have to measure it tomorrow. Never had a slipper pad fail, but I have cracked the hub before.

Actually this pad made adjustment harder, because the fiberglass epoxy board is far less flexible compared to original slipper material, 1/4 turn of adjustment could make huge difference in slipper effect. But it's so tough it will never fail again.
