Really? It sure looks like you are using the kyosho slipper plates to me. You can tell because they are larger than the outer circumfrence of the pads. That means that the slipper plate will actually be sitting up against the plastic of the gear, instead of the slipper disk. It will work for a week or two, but as soon as slipper pad starts to thin out, you will run into trouble.
The slipper plate needs to sit on the slipper pad, 100%.

Avid has a 69 if their slipper works on the RB6.

Well if you're looking for more spur gear choices it's a pretty affordable "upgrade"

My only real slipper issue occurred with a 13.5. I didn't want it completely locked down but wanted to use an AE or Kimbrough 72 and the slipper plates were riding on the plastic retaining ridge instead of the pad itself, as described above by Brandon. My solution to that was to glue two pads together on each side to get the mating surface beyond the plastic ridge. Apparently AE has some extra thick 4x4 pads that will work, too.
Still, if you're switching between mod/17.5/13.5 all the time and having to go to different spurs that Kyosho doesn't offer, it's worth it to get the Avid system IMO... I'll even use a 72 in mod now that I have the Triad when I want to move the motor farther back (mid).
