Xray XT8-E '09

Do yourself a favor and pickup a Slipperential. Mike offers delrin gears and it will save your entire drive system. A friend’s Losi without Slipperential is looking at new drive pins after one season of racing.

Does the Slipperential really make that much of a difference?

yes it does, it takes the shock out of the drive train when landing junps while still on the throtle.

It's really a nice tuning option and it helps save the entire drive system. I run one in my XT8 and Gorillamaxx. Just make sure you get the real deal from RC-Monster and not the cheap fake one.

Well I took it out for its first test run today and it did really well. The chassis flies nice and neutral. Im defiantly impressed and I have yet to put it on the setup station. I can defiantly see were the slipperental would be nice to help smooth out the power. I will have to pick on up over the winter for next year.

Just ordered the slipperential finally, anything setup wise with it I should know?

I guess it probably depends on what the track condition is like. I am running 5k-7k-3k for diff oil in my setup (similar to yours). Did you get the steel gear or the delrin gear?

I got a 50t delrin one, the steel is so noisy that I thought it might help, and I have had good luck with plastic spurs when I had my 4x4 SC. I think I will probably put either 7 or 10k in it and go from there,
