This might sound like a silly question but, Whats the benefit? More torque, quicker acceleration?

I just started running the exotek slipper eliminator myself at an indoor clay track. Seemed to work well, no problems so far. The only issue I had with it is that the included 5mm screws don't seem to be quite long enough when using the exotek spur gears (they work fine with the kimbrough spurs though), so I'm using 6mm titanium screws instead.

most people running the 3-gear here have gotten rid of the slipper eliminator and just running the stock slipper, or 2 pad slipper

A run a 3 gear with cut gears, ceramic bearings and the exotec eliminator with kimbrough spur on an indoor high bit clay track with new Reedy Mach 3 and have zero issues. FWIW car is also right at 1500grams.

Also good to know - if you cannot find the Kimbrough gears locally, you can also use Associated Touring Car spur gears, since they're actually just repackaged Kimbrough gears. I was at OCRC and they pointed me to this fact and had them in the store.

Good idea on the titanium screws.

I run it on 3 stock cars and wouldn't ever look back. There's a difference for sure.

I've even used a slipper eliminator with a 13.5 on sugared blue groove with great success. It is not an issue at all on the b5 series associated cars but it might actually be a slight concern on the Kyosho transmissions that do not have as stout idler gears. For the most part, with a 17.5, its not much more of a strain than a stock slipper which most everybody runs super tight anyway.
