Strobe Slippers discontinued

[JThiessen]

I was just informed by Robin at UE that the strobe slipper has been discontinued......:019:

[neweuser]

Yup, bad news, if you break one, how are you going to replace it? Are there other options besides the RR set up?

[JThiessen]

Thats exactly my question. What is the RR set up?

Worse than stock.

You could always try the MGT slipper. I think Leroy has tried them with brushless power with succes.

I still have to disagree. NOT worse than stock, better than stock by a large margin. I've towed my 3 year old (41 lbs + wagon weight) around in a radio flyer wagon on pavement and on grass and the RRP slipper never complains or fails. It STILL runs true. I know BYT had a couple bad T-Maxx versions but mine has been great and the two other guys I know that own them have been trouble free like mine.

I was going to buy the strobe this week to have on hand for when I buy my brushless in early August, now I'm rethinking that decision.

I also have had no issues w/ the RRP slipper. Much better than stock. I have a strobe still sitting here new. I keep saying I will put it on when the robinson goes bad. Still waiting..............

Damn, im gonna buy some spare pads!

I thought leroy used the strobe with the MGT springs.

[Sneeck]

Snap your right. Doh.

The mgt slipper is better than the stocker. You can even get a 52 tooth spur gear as well with a few other varieties. I guess some one will have to come up with a new design. That sucks. I wonder if they been taking lessons from proline. :D

LOL..

I asked about getting copies of the design to get one machined myself and she said "You would have to talk to Strobe (Dave Strobeen) about that."
Anybody know him, or how to get in touch with him?

[neweuser]

That would be cool, if you hear on that let me know. I know someone that does manufacturing with steel and aluminum, and he has the machine that laser cuts, drills, all that. It has like 5 or six arms that you program according to the templates you give him. he could make one as well.
