The stock slipper sucks - I tried it twice. Even when I accelerated slowly and change my gear size it still burned up. Thats twice in two runs.

Anyway I will probably order the strobe slipper kit. But since there not in stock I did some research and found a Robinson Racing slipper kit. All metal and has holes in it for cooling like a disc brake. Not sure if it will fit on the emaxx tranny. Also, I believe it is a 32pitch spur so I order RR pinions to match. Hopefully I did it right and won't have a problem with installation or running it.

I also checked the car on the speed gun and reached 57mph using 52spur and 18 pinion. My goal was 60 and I think I will achieve it once I use the all metal slipper.

I'll keep everyone posted on when I crack the 60mph mark.


I'm crazy and I'm not afraid to talk about it.

You need to get the plastic spurs....The metal on metal will shred the pinions...Did you get my PM?

Well I tried it again and I melted the spur gear a second time. Top speed using a 52/16 was 57mph and I plan on breaking 60 before I'm done. Mike is still out of the strobe slipper so I searched the web and found Robinson Racing. They make a 32pitch 54spur and 14-22pinion gears with an all metal cross drilled slipper. I'll try this configuration on Wednesday when I get it in the mail and tell you all how it works. I will start with a 14pinion then 16 - 18 - 20 and finally if the E-Revo can handle it a 22.

Well what do you guys think about my idea of using the RR slipper as a substitue?

also, what does everybody think about the RR slipper with the plastic spur instead of steal?
