Wow i would be in love if mine would do that. it must be weak spring thats my only guess.

Think about it, you're putting that power down to the rear wheels with 1/2 the slipper surface area the 2wd has. It's going to take a ton of spring force to keep it from slipping on a powerful motor, and when it does slip, it will glaze the pad. Also seems like the rear pad will always slip before the front pad does... (if at all).

I think the larger FT pads are going to be a must have on this truck, with a more powerful motor at least.

I built the slipper to spec from the manual, used calipers to measure the length on the shaft after the nut. Have not had to adjust it since the build, not using the HD pads either. I think you are right about the spring being the wrong tension.

Hey guys just wanted to know if anybody could tell me what timing they are running on the mmp. I've got the epic 6.5 550 geared 14/62.

Start with low first. You're always going to be more efficient with the low timing, and the work it out with the gearing. If you just need a little more oomph, that's when you play with the timing, at the expense of efficiency.

Yeah the high torque pad will make a big difference for sure. My front pad looks almost new still. Just not enough pad for the power and bite I have in the rear.

as i said early i am already using the HT Pads on front and rear. slip slip.

i guess i'll open up my extra kit and compare the springs.

starting my assembly. (finally)

And one of their big bragging points was that they tried to use the same lengths everywhere and how few tools you need to work on it. I had to add a 7mm nut driver and will be adding a custom bent ball end driver for my pinion to my track kit. My Jammin had more hardware continuity than this thing does.....Plus the weight of all those cap heads really adds up.

I am running the normal timing, which is 8 degrees. Using the 1410, mmp. geared 15/62 and everything is fine. I,ve used lowest,low and normal. Normal being the best for me.

you must be a happy man! finally ;)

It is not the 550 power. Something is wrong or not put together right. I am running a 4.5 550 and no slip if I don't want it to. The setting I have it at now, will slip for a split second on full traction and full throttle off the start.

Added my swaybars, changed front diff's to 7k and kept rear at 5k, set shocks to 32w all around and switched out my castle 3800kv motor with m 2400kv motor just to test it out for myself to see how it performs........ Still need to do some dialing in at the track tomorrow, but I can't wait to see how it handles with the changes made so far......

Yes something is wrong. and it is put together correctly.

I'll post my findings on the difference between my current spring and the one in my spare kit.

haha yes n no.

i'm stuck on the servo saver, cannot get that nut on. i'm kinda using ghetto tools so its probably making it harder than it needs to be.
