JLB Cheetah Slipper Issue RESOLVED! MOD

Hello Everyone,
For those of you that own a JLB Cheetah this is the worst part of owning one. The mod shown here will allow you to properly set the slipper clutch tension for your particular car.
As most of the JLB owners may know- the tightening hex nut is too tight from the factory and does not allow for ANY adjustments to the slipper!!
If you have been wondering why you are
stripping diffs or the rear pinion gear this is the root cause! Not being able to properly adjust the slipper tension :)
Part number for spring is at the end of the video :)
UPDATE: You can buy the spring here www.ebay.com/i...
UPDATE: Buy your JLB Cheetah Roller here www.ebay.com/i...
Feel free to hit me up with any questions or comments
Thanks for checking out the video

Dude just found your page , I love it your the only guy with helpful information about this truck ,if I may ask what was the slipper issue to begin with ? You might have stated it and I haven’t found the video yet but I’d really appreciate a reply 😁😅 and btw my man I already subscribed to the channel and dropping likes on the one so watch

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

Whats up brotha much appreciate that my man!! The issue for me was stripped rear pinion gear assemblies once I started messing with bigger motors and tires! By being able to have an adjustable slipper clutch the car is more controlable, wheelies less and I can run 6S!! 👍✌️✌️🤛

[@jc12396]

Japan RC Adventures a very good Idea indeed I’ll definitely be looking into it , I’ve had luck so far with mine I’m keeping my fingers crossed , but yo my man thanks agin for all the info much appreciated 😁👍🏻🔥

[@ozzyschannelosman3255]

i have blown many diffs on this truck and always been suspicios of the clutch but never botherd with it lol will try this next time it blows and i strip it all down............i was talking to jlb before about the car and distributors etc i reccomended they also make ea1049 metal.......diff housings always break too.....i find them a weakpoint after having a cheetah for around 1 year

Cool vid! I need to mod my cheetah like that. I’ve already got a spare tension spring from my traxxas slash slipper to use.

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

cool thanks for stopping by

How to find the best tight my friend? If it's loose, the power decreased.. if it's too tight, harm for gears..

Lucky enough am not having this problem YET lol, but I am having with my Ftx outlaw, I wondering if I could do the same with that idea, Great Video bro 👍 I would like you to do a full video on what you've have done to your JLB but if you speak in it please, 😁😁😁

Ciao, pretty good mod! Can you pls update the link where we can find the spring? Ive found some springs on web but not sure the size is the correct one. this link is no more valid... Many thanks.

[@arniekando6846]

I just ordered that part now. I have a lot of 4 s batteries that I want to use on this as well so with this slipper mod I expect it will handle it. My motor runs very hot quick in general. I installed a serious strong small fan which cools the motor right down though.

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

I'd love to hear of your results after doing the mod!!! A big fan and heatsink definitely works well. Thanks for stopping by.

[@arniekando6846]

@@JapanRCAdventuresS Its works well but the build went little different to your because if I do it exactly the nut does not fit. I now burn out all the slipper clutches. It sometimes slightly lift the front if I punch but only slightly so its not that the clutch is slipping to much. I think I must do a serious mod with different slipper clutches.

[@WestOzRC]

What a great video bro. But I just need to ask, what happened to that little brass spacer? Do you still need that? And if you don’t, how does it affect the looseness for the whole assembly back and forth when you tighten it up? My Cheetah just ate thru a set of front and rear pinion gears in less than 2 mths, but damn do I love this car. Cheers bro and thanks for the tip. Subscribed. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

My bro excellent observation and yes you need the brass spacer for everything to line up!! This mod helps with those diff pinions lasting longer!! Try working with a loose slipper and work your way up according to your driving style!! Thank you for the sub and i hear you the car is an awesome machine!! Cheers 🍻✌️👍👊

[@arniekando6846]

I am finally busy rebuilding the diff. I think what R35 asked is where did the brass spacer go because it dissapeared towards the end of the vid, its not there anymore, yet you say its necessary but at the end of build its gone ? The reason I also bring this up is because with the brass spacer in place the diff housing does not fit into place due to the spring I think, so was this the reason for excluding the the brass spacer to get the diff housing to fit on the two alignment pins ? Will it work for a prolonged period without this spacer ?

[@arniekando6846]

Thanx again. I see at the end of the vide you have the Vkar Bison rear drive shaft set, does the spring form part of this set ?

[@VoidXRC]

nice information dude

[@paulbutcherrc809]

Looking good pal

[@janchamizo5461]

mine does a lot of noise when i accelerate suddently and dont wheelie like it supose to this will fix it ?

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

open your rear diff case - pull out the diff and make sure the input gear “also referred to the bevel gear” is not stripped. Also look at your diff main gear and look for bent or broken teeth. The slipper mod helps by allowing the center diff to “slip”thereby reducing wheelies and transferring less power to the rear/front wheels prolonging your drivetrain

[@julioalbanez7983]

I’ve been trying to loose up the nut but that thing will not budge! Any suggestions? Can’t get a grip on that cup.

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

Yup you need to use a clamp like the one I use on the video my friend!! The loctite they use at the factory is some kind of superhuman strength type shit!!! its ridiculous..lol

[@arniekando6846]

@@JapanRCAdventuresS You put a heated soldering iron to the part just a bit and the locktites composition breaks down so that you can turn it

[@user-yn4gs1op8p]

Which spring should I buy? The linked eBay is not available.

[@joshpurser4810]

I know this is an old video but hopefully you can get back to me? Will this mod work for the jlb cheetah 21101?

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

Yea it will Work for all the JLB cheetahs brother

[@colegrue4987]

I have tried this but I adjust it so it barely slips but after a short run the adjustment nut back off easily and car stops moving. I wonder if I should apply blue loctite to gum up the threads so the nut will not move so easily, any suggestions?

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

i would try what you just said brother

[@Mr11emil11]

I order spring, but how to find how tight it needs to be ?

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

You need to adust and run your car..test run and adjust!! try small adjustments and run each time!! Too tight is no good!! Looser means less wheelies!! Tighter means many wheelies and stripped gears more easily!!

[@nguyenhoplai7071]

what's kind of bearing do you use? I have to replace all 5 bearings in the drive train every 5 or 6 packs. center driveshaft is straight.

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

I got the bearings off Amazon - rubber sealed generic bearings.

[@TonysRcTechboom]

Alex Do I have to buy the Vikar Bison Drive shaft Set which was at the end of your video as well , also the cover that goes over it to protect it ,will that fit back on or does that need modifying ?? Bro am wondering when did you buy your J3 cheetah because my slipper clutch dose not look like yours in the video, they might of solved the problem because I don't have anything stripping issues in my J3 and I have bashed the living daylights out of mine 🤔😃 sorry for all the questions mate, 🤣

[@TonysRcTechboom]

Oh right so it's because you put a bigger motor in it 👍 I won't be doing that to mine I think it's fast enough as it is lol 😅 I've got the spring anyway in case I have any issues 👍 thanks bro for your advice 👍😍👊

[@TonysRcTechboom]

You to my good friend 👍😀👍

Just ordered this item, that is definitely all you need bro, just getting it in case mine does the same, how do you know it's broke or not working properly, ?

Can I know what spring did u use, the link not working anymore, with part number would be great, thanks

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

the spring by itself is no longer sold, at the end of the video you will see the part number that is still sold which includes the spring i used.

[@leewilson229]

What shocks r u running on the 3spd thankyou

[@seladlev]

Hi. Whats your recommendation for closing the spring? Jlb 11201

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

Not sure i understand but spring used in the video is a Vkar Bison part number and to close it id use the same tool in the video! As far as how "tight" that will be a trial and error "tighter" less slip more wheelies, etc

Is the stock one have already spring on it?

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

No it does not

[@njshift]

Not a coil spring. The stock slipper uses those two black disc springs to provide tension to the clutch. They’re also called Belleville washers.
