XB2 Slipper Eliminator - Set #324100
XRAY XB2 Slipper Eliminator is a direct replacement for the slipper clutch set. Designed and recommended for use with stock motors to reduce rotating mass, reduce weight, and improve power transfer from motor without any power loss. With the Slipper Eliminator, motor performance is transferred directly to the car, and there is also no need for clutch & slipper adjustment. Exchanging the spur gear is then extremely very quick & easy.
Set includes aluminum slipper shaft, aluminum spur gear hub, and 69T spur gear (an optional 72T spur gear is available).
• Reduces rotating mass
• Improves power transfer
• Eliminates power loss
• Direct motor performance transfer
• Eliminates need for clutch & slipper adjustment
• Easy spur gear exchange
• Recommended for stock motors

doesn't see Xray change it in their website
do you know why they abandoned this optionnal motor mount position ?
very low grip tracks are present in europe (mostly in the south); so i suppose it's not a commercial issue...
maybe a technical difficulty to make it work as well as the mid position ?

29' Kick up plate
Daniel - I was under the impression the 29 degree gave less steering? Did it give you less steering into the corner, and more speed out of the corner? My track often has a lot of tight 180's. Currently am using a lot of your setup but already have 0 degree caster bushing and 26 degree kick up plate. thx sir
i think the stock is 26* block.. i just went with 29.. doubt the weight was that big of a difference.. but.. i know it aided in it.. the 29* sure helped with the higher corner speed i was looking for..
remember.. with the 29/23 plate.. you need to order the optional front brace.. the stock front brace wont work with it..
and you will need two set screws to tighten onto the hinge pins..

More caster should be - more initial steering and less coming out of the corner due to the weight transferring more easily on and off the front of the car

I'd imagine the 29* would give you more weight transfer to the front. At high speed I'd think the kickup wouldn't make much difference, just the overall caster.

It's all about weight transfer with the new cars. They ain't skateboard suspensions anymore. Run more front droop and get the turning done early with agressive turn-in settings.

Brought my car out for the first run yesterday. Wasnt very good at all but I just need to tune it. Broke the front hinge pin holder in a crash on my 4th battery pack after making some changes and ended my day. Got the car to where it feels just like my B5M just before I added the brass rear weight to that. Im just struggling with rear traction right now with this car. Need another full day at the track to try and figure out where to make adjustments
The track's now ready for slicks. So, put them on for Wednesday during a club race. Car was even better. Shawn drove it, too. He loved it.
Loving the car. Plus it's luxury. I may come in my suit on wednesday. lol. just kidding

when i decided to switch.. was mainly just to test.. see what the car would do both ways.. but.. with the 29.. it was exactly what i was looking for.. so i never flipped it..
more castor gives more high speed steering at mid/exit corner.. more kickup allows more front weight transfer..

something to add about the slipper eliminator add that xray released.. it says you can go 30t-35t with 69t spur..
we noticed on the DE edition of the car.. as well as verifying with Joe and a few others on XB2 nation.. the DE, with 69t spur.. you cant go lower than a 32t pinion.. i raced 32 last week.. and nothing stripped.. but.. its not as tight as i would like mesh wise.. 31t wont fit with 69t spur.
i think with the CE, mackenzie showed that you could get down to 31, possibly even 30. not certain on that though..
