Cheers for the help guys.
Is there a reason i need to run the avid slipper?? And i cant remember because im away at the moment if the kit comed with a 69 tooth spur or am i wrong?? Ill be running on a pretty loose dirt track if that helps as well.

I weighed my SXX v2 with cap, wires and sensor cable, it was 67g, My shorties are all around 202g, the speed control is almost exactly 1/3 the size of the shorty. This means that moving the battery back vs mounting the speedo back net the same weight balance, its easier to get the speed control under the rear brace in MM.

What is the largest pinion you can run with the stock 76 spur? I usually run mod but will be running 17.5 blinky later this month.
I do have the avid set up but have not installed it. What avid spur and pinion would you recommend with a blinky 17.5? High traction indoor with a Revtech 17.5 with high torque rotor.

Thank you Mike. I am running rm as it works well at our local outdoor tracks. I will be at Newred Hobbies at Christmas time for a few races but want to keep it set up in rm.
I think I do have a 69 Avid spur and will drop that on and see how it goes.

Not big enough, are you running MM? I find mid allows a bigger pinion with the 70 range spur. For a quick fix I would just get a AE 72 or 69 spur and clamp the slipper down completely to run 17.5 (the plates are a bit too big so once the pads wear down some you end up in contact with the spur, not the pads). You want to be in the 69/30-33 range depending on track size, and most motors will run best with +20 or more timing (again depends on motor and how they mark it).

A lot of it depends on your track size and the motor you are running (I didn't go back and read your previous posts). Not knowing your track size yields many answers. So if your track has a length of 100 feet them you probably want to throw on that 72 tooth spur and pickup some larger pinions, 32-34. Now if you have a smaller track then perhaps that 72 spur 28 pinion will work.

I run a 69/32 on my 17.5 blinky setup. The Avid slipper is a good performance mod to have. The gear cover rubs on larger pinions. 34t rubbed. You can get smaller spurs from Avid.

Alright im going to invest in one of these avid slipper set ups so i can run stock 17.5 blinky.It seems that there description is for the b4s and 22s but it must fit the rb6 then im gathering if you guys are running it?? Any clarification would be great.Ill be buying the stock set up but will purchase a 69 tooth spur separately if thats the desired spur to run, ill be running rear motor because i race on a very loose track.

Just curious, why do people like these for stock? Isn't it more rotating mass than a 2 pad system? Is the tradeoff for increased rotating weight worth it for the improved handling characteristics?

Yes, it fits the RB6, but I think you need the Avid RB6 top shaft:

The Avid slipper with aluminum topshaft is probably lighter and less rotating mass than the stock slipper.
