My run times had dropped from 8 minutes to less than 6 and then less than 4. Truggy was making some funky sounds and I could tell it was down on power. Removed the slipper and rear diff...
A new Diff gear for comparison...
Of course I didn't have the small gear that goes on the end of the slipper. $5 part, another $5 shipping. I went ahead and bought two of them just in case. That gear should be here tomorrow. Hope to see my run times back up around 8 minutes after the fix.
How tight should my slipper be? I've seen videos saying crank it down until the spring is fully compressed and then back it off a quarter turn. This seems really tight as I can barely get it to slip using my hands set like that.
