550 1415 Castle
- bought a brand new Slipper system. Thrust bearing, washers, spring, cap, nut. etc. tightened everything up, slowly all.... the... way... down to a completely compressed spring and STILL absolutely no acceleration.

I've tested the motors and ESC possible suggestions by switching vehicles. *It is not the motor or ESC*

This thing spins for TEN PLUS FEET before it will go. I've fought with this for months. And honestly, i'm getting very tired of it. I understand this stupid basket thing solves that, but I find that rediculous honestly. (no offense)

Is there anything i'm missing? Brand new pads, I chopped and roughed up. new disks, scratched those up now too out of desperation. Motor is iiiiiice cold, Slipper disk is on fire.

Remove the spur gear and inner slipper hub, make sure the slipper thrust washer/slipper thrust spacer and slipper thrust bearing are installed correctly. I have 2 of these trucks, both first batch. One I left stock slipper, the other I have the clutch basket installed. while the one with the clutch basket launches harder, the all stock one does not start slipping til the end of a 15 minute moto, and I'm not anywhere near fully compressed, no added washers under the spring. I use both the 1410 and the 1415 on these trucks, geared 16/62 all the way to 22/58 on the 1415. Also make sure the inner slipper hub bronze bushing p/n 91092 in installed in the inner slipper hub. Good luck!
