I've reached the point in my B6d build where I'm installing the slipper. I've got a choice. I could install the stock one, or I could transfer the VTS slipper from my B4.
The only issue is the VTS is super glazed. I've cleaned up the pads easily enough, but the plates have an incredibly polished mirrror finish on them. Can I just go over this with some 600 grit to fix it up?

Look for a screw extractor kit at your local hardware store. You'll want the micro set that fits RC sized screws. Good luck!

In my opinion, grease lasts longer. It's a little thicker, so probably not as fast as the shock oil. When I open my gearbox with grease, there always seems to be some left on the gears. Usually find it dry with shock oil. Some guys use Mobil 1 grease, some use the exotic Dupont grades (Krytox). I like that the Super Lube is similar in base to diff lube, and as mentioned, the sealing benefit.

I ran into the same problem a few months ago. I just drilled it out by starting with a small drill bit and going up on drill size until the screw head pops off. If all else fails just drill the heck out of it and replace the front ball stud mount.

Has anyone tried the four gear transmission yet? I run on an outdoor track that is pretty bumpy. Traction is getting harder to come by as it gets hotter and the groove seems to be less prevalent. The 4 gear in my SC5M is much much better than the 3 gear at my track. Matt
