Gearing was more than enough for the layout and going against Micheal Losi is no easy task the kid was on fire all week.

I use aluminum tape for sealing up ducting. I use a hole punch that I punch vent holes in tires to put a hole in the middle. Then slip that hole over the output shaft of the motor and trim the outside to the motor profile with an exacto. Clear the two taps that you are going to mount the motor with and that will keep dirt and small rocks from getting in. Basically a homemade gasket.

Installed and ran the AVID slipper clutch last night. Incredibly tunable, super easy to set, great feel, 100% consistent through the entire run. I would say better than the kyosho slipper. A tad pricy, but worth it for me. AND you get get 66, 69, and 72 spurs for you 17.5 drivers.

I switched to the Kyosho steel pinions, cause the aluminum gall too easily. I think the Kyosho spur/pinion set is the smoothest and quietest of anything I have run. Interesting idea about the Triad slipper, might have to try that one. Not sure, but don't you have to change the output shaft as well with the triad?

^^^ If you want to upgrade to the Avid Triad slipper, you do need to purchase their Kyosho specific top shaft. While the Kyosho stock slipper is really good, the Triad (in my opinion!), an awesome upgrade. The consistency, ability to put the power down w/o wheelspin and spur selection are 2nd to none!

How would people compare the stock slipper Vs the WC vented slipper Vs the avid?

Stock slipper pads are junk. I only ran the avid for their 69 tooth spur gear. Now that I'm no longer running stock I'm using the vented plates red pads and 78 t Kyosho spur.

Default Part Numbers

I am looking for the part numbers for the plastic washer spacers on the four bolts that hold the tranny case to the motor plate. Exploded view shown um508c which is wrong, cause the have the um508c in front of me and there are not on that.

Also the motor centering spacer is also listed as um508c and that is not on it as well. Wanted to put together a emergency complete transmission for the spare parts box.
