you already explained your own problem. your way over tightening the slipper assembly. if you have it almost locked down thats your problem. dont expect a sc to do a wheelie like a buggy whaen u adjust your diff. its heavier and longer which make that way of adjusting your slipper not the best for sc.

nice ill def be getting a set of these...im having some trouble with blowing idler gears on my mod sc set up,,,i have used both the black and the white colored plastic ones and have had simillar results with both..i am doin the regular slipper adjustment that i usually do wich does slip when i test in on the table or on the floor but for some reason my idlers havent been lasting more than a few days of driving..only thing i can think to do is run the slipper looser and i feel like it will be slipping to much that way,,anyone else ran into this problem,.? or have an idea of what i may be doin wrong..thnks in advance
Adjusting your slipper on the table is perfectly fine. But it does sound like you are setting it too tight. Back it off 1/8 turn and drive it.

the screw is def tight..i get to check it everytime i replace the idler 
its a new kit i built about 5 weeks ago,,im on my 4th ilder right now oh and i blew that monday night so i got to replace it,,i hit the track about 3 times a week,,i may very well have something wrong with the slipper assembly..i will double check the manual on that ..it has always seemed like the slipper bolt and spring almost have to be compressed all the way to get the slipper to hook up and to get to the "sweet spot" of the slipper adjustment i had to be cranked down pretty hard..this is my first k car so i may have bungled something apon assembly.

Weird that I have no issues even though I run the diff locked, locked slipper, full punch control off and a 7.5 motor. Again I even tried the castle 1410 3800kv that powered my old losi scte at 7lbs rtr and it was a wheelie beast but I never stripped a gear.

maybe hes running somewhere with tons of traction. also the only time ive spun one of the idlers is landing while in a panic rev. it really puts a strain on the plastic. another part of this is what kind of forward bite he has built into the truck, he may be running a set up with lots of traction compared to you

always change the diff gear and idler at the same time. The top shaft lasts a long time but it may be worn too and would need to replaced with the others. Also make sure you put a little diff lube on the teeth of the diff gear.

It all depends on the Motor you are using. We run a 75/27 now but that's becasue it is what works the best for us using Reedy Sonics with the right mechanical timing... However each track and motor can sway these numbers up or down...

panic throttle'n is most likley what started my problems,,the layouts i started driving on with this car both had big tripples that are challenging for sprtsman level mod sc guys..i will work to get the truck to be a lil less nose heavy but i really do have pretty "decent" control in the air with the set up i have ..but when i do make a mistake on a big tripple as im watching my k-car endo for some reason i cant fight the wiskey throttle lol..
