How to: Set or adjust Arrma BLX 4x4 3s and 4s slipper clutch

I was about to give up on my ARRMA Vorteks because two issues I had and din't know they were related to the slipper clutch. Thank you sir, this video fixed both the issues I was having.

Your welcome and glad it helped

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Thank you SO MUCH. I read forums, I scratched my head, I was too tight, then I was too loose... All I wanted to do was replace my plastic spur with a steel spur, I don't know a slipper clutch from a slip-and-slide. Following your directions was easy. I'm a visual learner, and you made it simple. This is my first hobby grade, and there is a learning curve when it comes to wrenching on my Granite. Thanks to you and LocTite, I'll be back on the trail tomorrow. PS: anyone looking for good 1/10 scale tires should check out Amain Hobbies Upgrade RC brand Dirt Claw 2.8 off-road tires. I'm never buying crappy dboots tires again. Dirt Claw tires are supple, deep tread, glued perfectly, grip like hell, and they don't rip off the wheel catastrophically like the dboots Fortress MT tires.

I've been out of the RC hobby for the better part of 10 years but got bit by the bug after watching you, kev, claire and the rest of the crew's videos. It's been well over a year since I've found all of your channels and in researching what rig to get I've been torn between a trx4 or one of the 3s/4s arrma rigs (Arrma wasn't even a company yet when I sold all of my old stuff years ago). Really impressed with the outcast 4s and the body on it is simply bad ass. Thanks for the videos and the how tos. Cheers from Michigan!

[@HardcoreRC]

I was similar, was out the hobby for around 10 years and got back in 2 years ago, was still using my old radio with crystals 😂😂 doesnt take long to learn all the new bits though and what the cars can do these days is just truly amazing. Outcast 4s is a great car, but was discontinued 18 months ago, we are all still waiting for the new 4s cars from Arrma that we have now been told will be summer 2022, we will see as we were also told they would be out early 2021. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoy our videos 👍👍

Hi there. Just received a BRCC and was going to do this as part of the general tweaking and checking before I let the kids lose on it. Im a total noob and trying to learn fast. Can you explain what are the typical "symptoms" youd get that would warn you that the slipper was too tight or too lose. The electronic whining I hear before movement seems fairly universal as does the car "clicking. " The vehicle moves like a scalded cat so Im not experiencing any performance issues (yet). Even so, I feel like I should check this, as youve kindly taken the trouble to make the video. Thanks very much for a great channel. I`ll be doing the wing upgrade next !!

[@HardcoreRC]

Hopefully you shouldn't have any issues unless you need to change the slipper plates, or you have a QC issue where the plates were et to lose/tight etc.. This was more of an issue on the 4s cars. Tell tail signs of a loose slipper would be that the car didnt wheelie, seemed low on power off the line and the gearbox / drive shaft would get very hot. Tell tail signed of a tight slipper would be blowing the rear drive shafts all the time. Only other tip i would give is put some gorilla tape over the larger holes on bottom of the chassis top left, where you access the steering servo horn, stops little rocks getting in and jamming the steering Have fun with your BRCC, its a great little RC

So just to clarify at the point where the wheels lock up is that a fully tightened slipper setting or would it be considered back out just a bit but not as much as the factory setting suggestion?

[@stephenclarkjr6967]

@hardcoreRC do you think the slipper clutch could be an issue if the Arrma Granite 3s has a slow start, no power off the line, and the motor overheats pretty quickly resulting in no throttle and only steering?

[@HardcoreRC]

It could be, as this would mean the motor is spinning, does the actual plastic round the spur gear get hot as well ? other possible cause is the front bearing in the motor - that's a known issue with the 3s motors and you should be able to warranty it

[@stephenclarkjr6967]

@@HardcoreRC This was definitely the main cause of my issue. Might also be some loss of low end power, but that may be gearing related. Thank you so much for your response!

It could be this but the clicking makes me think not try this to tighten and if it still does it i would check the mesh on the pinion and spur gear, also check the motor bearing, might be some movement in the haft, front motor bearings are known to fail, other than that it might be a diff gear

If the slipper is to tight it can cause the rear axels to pop, however i have heard a lot of people having the rear axel popping issue on new Big Rocks so think there may be a QC issue. Once the Axel has popped once it will keep doing it until replaced

There is no such thing as a stupid question 👍 Its likely normal - as mine is the Outcast 4s it comes with a metal spur gear, the big rock is plastic spur, so will be quieter 👍

Normal 👍 My typhon is louder than my Big Rock for some reason. It could also be that the pinion gear is too tight on the spur gear OR it could be the motor bearings themselves.

So you don't back it off any? I did and still blew a driveshaft, probably because I didn't loctite it

[@HardcoreRC]

I didnt back it off any and not had any issues, if you do still find you pop a drive shaft you can back it off a bit, once a drive shaft has popped it will just keep on popping until you replace it

thanks - although my Outcast is now down, took it out for another run today and the loop connector when running 4s fell onto the drive shaft and wore it out so driveshaft snapped 😢 need to zip tie it to the centre brace to keep it out the way

[@someoneyoudontknow3257]

Doing your method makes the u joints pop out on stock punch

[@HardcoreRC]

Shouldn't do, it likley down to Arrma dropping the quality of the axels since they made an upgraded version available. Have done this on Outcast 4s, Granite v2, Typhon,v2, Senton v2 and first release Big Rock with no issues.

[@someoneyoudontknow3257]

@@HardcoreRC it's a possibility, the spectrum servo went in the garbage after the first battery pack. Ended up getting the arrma cvd drive shafts and 5 packs in so far so good but too early to say. It's a tough, little truck and alot of fun, it just has a few little annoyances. Mainly shock rod ends not being threaded (pop out) and the slipper( run loose, lose performance and watch the screw back out or tight and pop u joints). Gorilla glueing the rod ends until I decide to put something more high end on there.

[@HardcoreRC]

@@someoneyoudontknow3257 They are good trucks, its a shamed that they have dropped the quality of the axels. You have found the shock rod end issue then, yep we just used super glue to put them back, but then found some big bore shocks on Ebay. Best option for them is the Typhon 6s shocks if you can find them on a breakers site

[@someoneyoudontknow3257]

@@HardcoreRC I saw them pop out in another KZbin vid before I bought the truck, so I wasn't blind to it. It is a annoying though when the spring flies off and gets ran over by traffic before you can find it lol 🤣 😭 They're cheap enough online that it's almost worth it to have a couple spares in rotation and just keep glueing them as they pop out. And when that gets old I'll definitely check those Typhon shocks out. They look like a major upgrade all way around. Thanks for the replies man

[@HardcoreRC]

@@someoneyoudontknow3257 oh yes that is annoying, or it flies off into deep grass and you cant find it, never really understood why this issue hasnt been addressed. Look on the bright side though, on the Vorteks i think it has been welded into the rod end as my mate keeps breaking the shafts, dont 4 of them now. Yeah the Typhon 6s shocks are a very good upgrade all round, thicker shafts, better damping etc

Did the trick work ?

[@HardcoreRC]

works for me, and no one has come back to say it didnt work for them

[@3Point_virtuallyrendered]

@@HardcoreRC did a light bash today, nothing crazy and out popped my left rear cvd slider. I just recently set my punch setting to 7... but never checked my slipper setting when I put my metal spur gear on (BRCC V3). I'll try this method and see if it works.

[@HardcoreRC]

@@3Point_virtuallyrendered also careful on the punch setting as the rear cvd are the weak spot, set the slipper of punch to high and it will break , best to get the upgraded CVD's if you want crazy punch

[@Haju2]

Wouldn't it be a great idea to put the thread lock first and then do the tightening on the wall and then detach the motor assembly and leave it for drying in upright position for 24h. When you put the thread lock first then you could get it to the threads a bit better.

[@HardcoreRC]

Yes you could do that - just means taking the whole slipper assembly apart, but if you are happy to do that and have the time putting on the actual thread would be better. But if you are talking about putting thread lock on first and not taking it apart now, as the thread comes out more as you tighten, so better putting it on last

[@stuarttomlinson802]

Awesome did not know that ..Cheers

[@HardcoreRC]

Your welcome 👍👍

[@PontusHanssonCm]

So you didn't strip out your diff after tightening it that much

[@HardcoreRC]

nope - no issues what so ever - never blown a diff on any of my 3s or 4s models

[@PontusHanssonCm]

@@HardcoreRC Well thanks then

[@jeffreyberry9743]

One observation I can add is I also run my slipper this way with a granite running 3s and it runs great. As for diff problems and stripping gears it really depends on what environment your bashing in and driving habits especially with a slip this tight. I did strip one rear diff and the culprit ended up being contamination of the diff, the included shielded bearings were letting dirt and sand and everything in. After switching to good sealed bearings and keeping it properly greased. ( Using Permatex HP Synthetic Grease) have not had any problems since with the diffs. Link to grease if interested - Canadian link just for reference, find alternative supply stock if needed. www.amazon.ca/Permatex-31832-Multi-Purpose-Synthetic-Grease/dp/B07YLLPN51/ref=sr_1_1?crid=29UML3LYSH14U&dchild=1&keywords=permatex+synthetic+grease&qid=1596147953&sprefix=permatex+syn%2Caps%2C179&sr=8-1

I have adjust slipper as you have done in my big rock , but still taking out axle.

And now is in the garbage , totally done with arrma junk !!

[@HardcoreRC]

I do feel for you as truly believe there is a QC issue with the current axels, we have never had any issue, but all i heard of late is issues on recently bought cars, might be worth trying to see warranty replacement with the better CVD's ??

Well , I have drilled small holes in the yokes just before the pin holes in universal joints . Have installed small nuts and bolts through the yokes in the axle that is breaking , finally got a full run out of it, hopefully it will last till the metal driveshaft are available... thanks Hardcore rc , sorry for the frustration 👍
