Good idea, I only do slipper eliminator on buggies.

I am using Speedy's Racing Parts slipper eliminator and the cut gears and I haven't had any problems with idlers failing. Now I oil my bearings so maybe that helps? The Ohio RC Factory is extremely high bite at times.
My truck is quite a bit lighter than most as well. I'm a little above 1800 grams so that probably makes a difference.

Question about T5m rear body clips coming off????
My buddy said his do and I remember when I ran my T5m it happened to me a couple times.
Is there any solution besides keeping the "rubber side down"?
Does it happen to you?
What is ur solution?

they are YUGE and grab a lot of clay. I will just buy extra clips and velcro the sides of the body to the truck

Thanks Slider,
I think I'll just put them on the back.
Keep the clips on front since we don't have issue up there.
looks like they will work perfect.

Since replacing the body mounts with new original parts it is really rare for me to loose a clip.

Hello all. Can someone please tell me if the chassis protector would fit this truck. The sheet is only 5.5" wide. Let me know. I just bought ond from a member on rctech. In the mean time ive got 207 pages of fun research.
