No offence to Mac, because I admire his inventiveness and entrepreneurship, but I don't think that the slipper basket is the solution for everyone's slipper problems.
I'm running HT pads on the inside and outside of my spur, 2 1/4" washers between the spring and slipper plate, and the spring fully compressed. I have zero problems with torque. Maybe my ESC settings and trigger finger are helping with this too, but I can go 3 full race days without having to rough up my pads....and even then, I'm not having any issues keeping up with the Losi and Ofna trucks at our track...
We have a long 8-pack of doubles down part of our track, and if you mess up on your timing, it makes it hard to get the speed up to clear the next set... since tossing 2 $0.10 washers under my spring, I have not had any problems clearing the next set, even when I bugger up the rhythm....
i am stock with the 3.5mm setting. one regular slipper pad inside, one ht pad outside.
how far should i tighten the slipper, and where do the washers go?
no offense to mac either, but i'd like to use the clutch basket as my last resort.
