Too much slip - RC-Monster Forums

It shouldn't be slipping much at all when it's tightened down.

I'll ask a silly, but relevant, question: Were there any parts left when you finished assembling the unit?

Can you take a side-on picture showing how the parts are arranged, just to confirm the unit is assembled correctly?

I believe the axial relationship of the springs can affect how much pressure they apply. They have to be lined up with each other a certain way.

I will take it out next week and post some pics. I did not have any extra parts.

Tried two different camera and every picture is blurry. I will take it apart tomorrow and post pics of the components laid out in order they are installed. Im pretty sure I have it right per the instructions. Im hoping something is wrong though so i can get it working.

Did you scuff the pressure plates with sand paper?

Yep. I scuffed em. I followed the directions carefully. I will take it apart tonight. One of the pads was slightly deformed and I sanded it a little to get it to pop in place. Maybe its causing an issue?

I wouldn't have thought that would be the issue. If one of the pads is thicker or not seated properly and taking all the pressure that might make a difference. The slippers I have I gave a reasonably good rub with sandpaper so none of the original surface was visible. I did that cause I heard of others saying they couldn't tighten it to the point they were comfortable with (nothing like your scenario though).
