How's that slipper nut? I changed a spur yesterday, and did a high torque pad at the same time. I guess I didn't tighten the slipper enuf, but it was just a little chirpy, didn't seem too bad. Next pack it got much worse, so I retightened it, maybe 7-8 threads showing? Ran 2 minutes, got slow again, checked it, it was now only showing 4 threads, and HOT. Temped at 180!! The Teflon inside the nut was toast. Motor was at 130. A new nut (maybe 2?) some loctite, and maybe a vented slipper are in my future.
Tried another run after it all cooled down, but it got the slips again real bad, I'm sure the pads are like ice. Then had an electronics issue (1015 decided to make random right turns and twitch, hard), so I packed up and flipped cars for a bit....
PS, I like the clicker on with the sway bars. Much better turn in for me.
