So I had a chance to try my buggy last night with the Avid slipper and I can say that my car was much more consistent from lap to lap. I raced on the same track with stock VTS last Sunday and my quick lap was 20.3 and it would run consistent low 21's, last night I ran a 19.8 with the avid but could consistently run in the mid 20's. I should mention I did make a change in my shock oil but otherwise it was the same conditions with the same tires, another note it was a mostly empty track and was pretty much a practice night. The only thing that I did not like was I found the gears to be much louder than the associated spurs, otherwise it seems to be a good product.

I found the standard 2-disc slipper to be more consistent than the VTS on my 4.2. The VTS can definitely take more power, but once it starts to slip it becomes woefully inconsistent.
One minute, you're pulling wheelies, the next you've barely got enough rip to make the triple. It can be frustrating.

You can try soaking the spurs in some water overnight. Depending on when it was made this could help. They are made in a zero moisture environment and normally absorb the moisture back into it when sitting on the shelf.

I admit when starting with brand new pads the VTS adjustment can be tricky .
Recommend to scuff first or break in a couple runs.
Myself also using the heavy duty slipper spring from a Sc 10 4x4.
For me adjustment is so much more predicable to achieve with the VTS .
Tighten the lock nut flush with the top shaft and you will be very close to a proper setting.

The "mod of the week" is cutting a big hole in the bottom of the chassis to allow battery changes through bottom and adjust chassis flex. All the team guys are doing it.

From what car/platform? Because the studs and ballcups from the 210/410 are the worst studs and ballcups on the market. I would run the Kyosho ballscups and lunsford studs if looking for an alternative.

This seems like an interesting piece for the VTS slipper.

Those running everything inline and trimming the plastic braces, are the hard plastics being used instead of the kit plastics?
