If it doesn't, your only choice is the Strobe or a Kippster...

It sounds like your slipper is too loose, tighten it all the way so the spring is fully compressed and then tighten even harder. Be gentle when you pull out ease into the throttle. Get the plastic gears for the robinson. This will get you through until Mike gets the stobes in. This will almost be like having no slipper so it will most likely not slip and be hard on your drivetrain if you get on it hard or stay on the throttle while landing a jump. But it should be fine for speed runs.

I did not see the robinson plastic spurs for there new design. If you know where to get them please let me know. Their slipper is a tower hobbies, here is the link if you want to see it so you can help me.

They don't make a plastic spur for the MGT slipper.

If they don't make it how can I use it. And BTW why would they make it if it is no good.

metal spurs are fine for a nitro because it has a clutch that has some slip to it at low rpm and they do not produce the amount of instant torque as brushless motors.

BTW i think what Squee means, is to take the stock MGT slipper assembly with the stock MGT spur gear and use i t on your e-maxx transmission. I think.......

I was assuming you had an Emaxx slipper. Metal gears are much heavier, can cause electrical interference,are noisy,and as mentioned will wear quickly with your setup. Bottom line is there was probably nothing wrong with your original slipper, it was just setup too loose and or didn't have enough friction pegs installed (each hole on the slipper should have a friction peg instead of just a few).

Nice revo. What spring are you using on the slipper? Emaxx or mgt?

[vette1]

I am using a EMaxx slipper. I have the strobe on order from Mike so I should have it by next week. I only need something for about that time. I'm sure it will be fine. Also, I had all the pegs in and the nut was very tight. I made it so tight it was like some people's wallets. Anyway, I am going to try everything posible to make metal to metal work until I get the strobe. I'll keep everyone posted until I get the strobe to see what happens.

Well I took a comparsion pic of springs. I thought I would share to with others. On right is mgt spring. On left is emaxx spring. You can plainly see the difference.

[vette1]

Regardless of the spring I want to know if I can use the RR slipper with a 52t mod1 team associated spur and just dremal out the middle since your telling me that I nned to have plastec with metal.

[coolhandcountry]

I have heard you can use the mod 1 51 tooth ofna gears. I have never tried so can't say for sure. Less dremel work for sure.
