[@stevemdelacruz5602]

Great vid this is what every one needs to watch when converting from 3s to 4s on the big rock.they dont tell you that you have to add a pad

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks buddy I appreciate it

[@georgewilson4614]

Very informative sir! Thank you for the guidance!

[@BarstoneRC]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rcpd3157]

Some say to grind a lil bit of paint from inside the spring as well. This prevents the whole thing from becoming just a screw. However, it isn't always necessary. Great video! Great info!

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah I’m hoping it holds up this time if it doesn’t I’m not sure what I’m going to do? But thanks for the info!

[@rcpd3157]

@@BarstoneRC You are welcome. Hopefully, this time it will. You do "Push" yours too though...lol. I did grind my spring and after 2 bash sessions and 3 speed runs(fingers-crossed), it is still holding up. Each 1 is a little different and so are the drivers and the adjustments we make. Good luck with it. Keep making the awesome content as well.

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah hopefully I’m going to take it out tomorrow and give it a good run and see how it holds up if it starts loosening up again I’ll give that a try. But thanks for the info and support

[@redbeardrc1452]

These are tricky to get right. I ended up scrubbing everything in rubbing alcohol and putting a generous amount of blue threadlocker on the screw after backing the nut off a half turn from completely tight. My spring is actually busted at this point, but it honestly doesn't seem to matter. Hopefully your rebuild will yield lasting good results! 👍

[@BarstoneRC]

I’m hoping man I put red Loctite on it but I guess we will see I’m going to the motocross track right now to test it out.

[@redbeardrc1452]

@@BarstoneRC Awesome, good luck!

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks! I feel like I’m going to need it LOL

[@bradvdb4136]

Great stuff, I think that nut is used to help hold the slipper together and stop it from loosing . If you check out the new 3s cars they use that and says for precise adjustments. I think I’m going to try and use it next I rebuild mine . I also take mine apart and lightly sand the mating surfaces with a very fine paper and clean everything really well and it works great . Also I don’t know what pinion you run but everytime I switch to the 15 tooth the slipper loosens up , so I just run the13 tooth and all is good.

[@BarstoneRC]

I’m running the stock pinion in it and I try using that little nut inside the slipper clutch and it will not go onto the input gear if you have it in there?

[@bradvdb4136]

Bars&tone RC so that’s why the new input gear on the 3s cars are different. Any way I’m excited to see what the next version will bring.

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah I’m curious to see what the new ones are like.

[@gazfpv]

Nice parts bro. 👍 Hope it holds up for ya. 👍 😊

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks GAZ!! Me to man me to. Lol

[@camaroboy383]

Good tutorial my friend.. keep those old slipper hubs just incase.. never know when your going to snap the rear one.. 👍

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks buddy! Yeah I kept the old one around since it’s not stripped out but I had it out today and within five seconds broke a driveshaft LOL

[@camaroboy383]

@@BarstoneRC oh man..🤦‍♂️.. Kraton is giving you the beans man.. that's crazy!

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah this thing just seems to hate me LOL I don’t get it?

[@shawnonsens3377]

I have my slipper screw at hand tight.....anything less it doesn't perform. maybe the slipper plates are wore out??? Either way good vid.

[@BarstoneRC]

After I rebuilt it with the new spring and bearing it’s been working well at 1.5 turns out from tight. Thanks for watching bud

[@shawnonsens3377]

@@BarstoneRC no problem thanks for the hard work and content my guy....gives me a basis on what to expect or not too lol.

[@jean-marcrevill3175]

Another slipper clutch piece wow you have had too many issues with it?!

[@BarstoneRC]

Dude the slipper clutch in this thing hates me, absolutely hates me LOL I just had it out at the track and broke a driveshaft in five seconds because the slipper clutch started slipping too much again so I tightened it up and then broke a driveshaft. I just set it again and Loctited the hell out of it differently this time see if this works?

[@jean-marcrevill3175]

Bars&tone RC my slipper clutch is just fine if that makes you jealous

[@BarstoneRC]

Well I’m glad somebody’s not having problems with theirs LOL and yes I am slightly jealous.

[@LightsAndBikes]

Has everything stayed working properly Now? I’m doing my first break down of the clutch and using the maintenance kit.

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah it has been solid as a rock now after rebuilding it I am however dealing with a bad ESC at the moment.

[@j.c.proctor]

My bearing in my spur is not staying in do you think that is a defect ? Or do I need to take a hammer to it?

[@BarstoneRC]

Do you mean it keeps sliding off?

[@j.c.proctor]

@@BarstoneRC I hear and feel a snap but it still comes out when I flip it over to install the other side I have to hold the bearing in place

[@BarstoneRC]

@@j.c.proctor Well they don’t really lock in the place from what I remember I usually stuck one side into the housing and then put the bearing and stuff on and then put the other side of the case on

[@j.c.proctor]

@@BarstoneRC I'm going to try it again in a few I remember the bearing in the plastic spur wasn't thar easy to come out

[@BarstoneRC]

No that one stays on there very tight usually but the one on the slipper itself usually does slide on and off easily

[@rblvlogs8219]

Hey, what are the signs of a slipper clutch starting to loosen?

[@BarstoneRC]

You will notice a lot less power going to the back wheels especially but overall a loss in power

[@rblvlogs8219]

Amazing thank you!

[@EXTREMERC416]

Everything in your hold clutch seems fine to me mine is far worst the only way i got the clutch to hold i red threadlock but i put it on the hole of the rear hub and a but on the screw or it doesnt stop backing out mine is a year and a half old

[@BarstoneRC]

The only thing I really found wrong with it was the little roller bearing between the two washers on the screw one of the rollers was missing. I put red Loctite on it so far it’s OK I guess I’ll see how it holds up?

[@BarstoneRC]

So it came loose once again. So I just did what you do with soaking the inside and the bolt with red loctite with it turned out 1 and a 1/4 turns out. I guess I’ll see what happens?

[@soundpro707]

Hell yeah

[@BarstoneRC]

So is that your thing now? Hell yeah? LOL
