how to set your arrma 4x4 3s & 4s slipper cluch, no more problems!

[@riffraff9070]

Finally a video that shows how much the slipper clutch should slip. Thank you. Only video that shows how it should slip.

[@biggnasty989]

Subscribed! Why? Because you are real AF homie!!!! You are the only one out of the youtube rc wrenchers who give USEFUL information. I'm doing this work on my living room floor homie, and your tips got me back up and running. Thanks bro!

[@tyrellcorp2118]

Very detailed and the result of lots of experience. That’s how I set my tightness as well. Sanding the spring is a new idea. Maybe just lye or easy off oven spray could make it easier.

[@norcalrc]

Good knowledge bro. Thanks for sharing. One quick note, if you don’t want to reduce the size of ‘specialty nut’ and input shaft, you can order Arrma’s new short input shaft that compensates for the new slipper hardware. Love your videos bro

[@jonnyp3823]

Do you have the part number for the short input shaft? Thanks

[@robertrodrigues7776]

Well that specialty nut isn't like your it's just a hard plastic without the thread and I lost it. Finally got it working then it breaks again

[@barrettalen]

What is the part number for this shortened input shaft

[@MJ-gq9nv]

Black moly moly 1/2:3n1 slicker than snot I use ing it for ring pinyon grunt and rear the modified safety nut is the shit ,great content bro 💯 likes in the future for quality I'm in 👌

[@davidmackgutierrezjr2126]

Genius idea. I tried it and it really works in all your videos got good content in them it was a quick good fix I like it

[@DelightedCuttz]

Definitely need one like this for speed runs and dirt track racing with the guys ..#ccrc

Hi I just replaced mine with a differential you'll love it balances out the power front the rear launches out of the hole like crazy and no more wheelies.

[@daltonmarshall2406]

You mean a center spool?

[@andrewfrost4802]

Yes But if you ask your local hobby shop, they will call it a center differential it is the best mod you can do for your RC truck. You will absolutely love it.

[@daltonmarshall2406]

@@andrewfrost4802 where did you get it? I can't find any differentials other then a center locking spool

[@andrewfrost4802]

I would try the center locking spool. The one you're talking about if you can't find the differential. I bought mine from Hobby Town. In plano texas Super cool guys that work there, too. They are really nice people.

[@andrewfrost4802]

Great content. This is a good wisdom sharing vid. Thank you.

[@IRONCLADRC]

Yes sir thanks for watching

[@RittenhouseLifestyle7]

I am new to all this, I purchased an aluminum motor mount, center block support. The piece that slides out with strap. Then it came with a slipper spool all steel. But the spur they gave me is 57T, the vendetta has a 50T. So I want to swap the 50T on the all new steel slipper spool. So this should help a lot. I don’t know shit about “shimming” or nothing. I may break it.

[@nateg9770]

I like the spool modification, definitely only for speed runs

[@doogidunrite4290]

I've done this with my senton I've upgraded to a 3s system and all it does is spin the slipper. I glued the plates to the hubs and now it just burns up pinion gears. I had no problems out of the plastic spur and stock slipper set up. I put in the metal 57t and nothing but problems.

[@donniemarks94]

I reused the stock clutch pads on a hot racing steel spur for my vorteks 3s and it slip’s really bad, I think I need too use different pads and use 4 pretty sure I only installed 3 pads

[@surfside75]

Subbed😂 Wish i had watched first. Bought 2 HR pads instead of 3.🤦‍♂️ is it ok to mix composite and aluminum pads?

[@squid64420]

Good video thanks ☺️

[@user-rq3ce2vk9i]

I cut it and half with a razor and I didn’t have to trim the end where the motor goes cause it fit all the way in now just got to change my clutch slipper pads and it’s good as new

[@fiercetatsu6782]

My Home Depot Has the same set screw it’s a M2.5x25mm cap head screw but any screw with the same diameter and and a length of at least 20mm works the same I’ve had better luck with a Phillips head that’s 20mm than the ones arrma provides

[@IRONCLADRC]

Thanks for the information

[@truboy555]

Yea hard work pays off baby..

[@TheGAMEGod_YT]

Good knowledge for sure

[@bubblesrcshed]

Kind of simple but I’m shocked they don’t send the right sized part for the stock slipper hub seems weird I would have to cut that nut and shaft but hey you say it works. My issues with the Granite is the motor seized on me once and on my second Granite after bad landings now something is wining like really load not sure what it is as I’m a noob. I have a video if you wish too check it out and comment on a suggestion for repair. All the power is their but it’s loud I think the crappy bearings in the motor can are done. Thanks man cheers 🍻

[@seanhamilton4175]

That's because it's a V2 input shaft. The V3 one is shorter so no need to file anything

[@bubblesrcshed]

@@seanhamilton4175 with some handy work done too the spur gear it’s working good again on my Granite. Needed to be re meshed after some spur got chewed up

[@edwardwester5968]

Great video thanks 😊 👍

[@IRONCLADRC]

Yes sir buddy

[@2morrowMuggins]

You are on the right track...but to make your life easier...u can purchase a shorter input gear (ARA311031) and as far as the little lock nut...if it's plastic with metal threads you'll still need loctite and it may come loose on you...the newer maintenance kit comes with a little locknut but it's all plastic ( ARA311033) and it will never come loose on you. The only time you would need to cut the input gear a little shorter is if you are using the hotracing input gear because it doesnt come in a shorter form. Ref: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXy7Z4CtjbSlqsU

[@IRONCLADRC]

Great information my friend thank you

[@2morrowMuggins]

@@IRONCLADRC Dude You Rock!

[@secret5.]

Well that explains why I couldn't get my clutch to work right after upgrading to the metal gear, I only had 3 pads from the plastic gear. Thanks.

[@2morrowMuggins]

@@secret5. If you buy HR parts...DO NOT USE THE METAL SLIPPER PADS. stick with the stock ones

[@IRONCLADRC]

Personally, I would have to disagree... I love my HR cluch pads. I kinda swear by them. I've had no issues with mine I run them in the typhoon, & k4. May I ask why you don't like them? Just currious.. thanks for the awsome input

[@krunoslavbenko690]

Anyone watching in 2024 ? Nooo thanks, v2.5 is muuuuccchhh better, normal diff finally...🎉

[@damonpeters6645]

can you drill out the stripped hub and tap it a size bigger and use a bigger screw?

[@IRONCLADRC]

Iive thought about that, never done it.... not saying it cant be done

[@robertrodrigues7776]

Now I got a metal spur, but now it's grinding again I'm thinking it's the front differential since it grind when doing wheelie

[@43rocket]

ive been running my big rock for a while im hearing screetching louder sound from slipper area? what needs replacing?

[@robertrodrigues7776]

I bought a slipper clutch maintenance kit and it it stripped right away. As of I bought the complete slipper clutch kit

[@IRONCLADRC]

I had the same issue. Waist of money

[@unfukngbelvable565darkstar3]

Don't need to cut nothing just need to get a newer input shaft that is shorter they have it!

[@IRONCLADRC]

Nice. Thanks for your input very helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@bigcaliber3388]

Ironclad.. what size flat head screws are those on that spool gear if you don't mind me asking??

[@IRONCLADRC]

Oh man I wanna say 2mm or 2.5 I drilled and taped the hole out in the center to accept the larger screw. The 3 on the outside of the home made spool are 2mm counter sank the screw heads and grinded the top flush to clear the inside of the mount

I have a granite 4x4 mega and put in a blx100 system in it the slipper clutch just slips i got two runs out of it what do I do to fix it?

[@IRONCLADRC]

There's a slipper clutch rebuild kit available, it has the special screw bushings & new spring. Use red loc-tite on the slipper screw when rebuilding the slipper. Or you could buy a new slipper assembly prebuilt

[@RichardS-o8b]

@@IRONCLADRC I bought the whole slipper clutch setup the second most expensive one that amainhobby's had cost me 45.00$ can't you just super glue the slipper clutch to eliminate it that's what I did to my Traxxas slash

[@LightsAndBikes]

Is it still holding up? Thinking about doing this myself tomorrow.

[@IRONCLADRC]

Yes it is. Its still tight. 6 packs later. I am noticing alot of dust in the motor mount housing, and there is a little more play in the cluch i think (I know) its the pads now. So I just got some hotracing aluminum pads, were gonna install. I've been running an aluminum pad in the 3s typhoon mega set up with no play or wear. So to answer the question yes its holding up to my hard driving and i recommend setting the screw a little tighter than I recommend in video, if set to loose I noticed the pads wear down faster.. thank you & good luck my friend

[@2morrowMuggins]

@@IRONCLADRCI was thinking about that. Very good point. Tightening it a lil more so there is less slip and less grind. I've sanded down the grooves in the metal pads.

[@IRONCLADRC]

Yes I recommend it.

[@MrKillerhaze]

I gave up on mine and just tighten the shit out of it now I have no problem besides popping out cvd or breaking them because the car pulls to hard but I hate taking that thing apart every single time I run it lol now been months not a single problem besides breaking cvd because not knowing about the set screw lol

Yeah I back mine out half a turn instead of the 1 full turn, or 1.5, whichever it is. Haven’t had a slipper clutch issue since
