Read my previous post Coyote, as I think and hope this may help;

Also if you have so much heat being produced in the rear area I would check and make sure you installed the slipper thrust spacer in correctly (Its behind the spur and rear pulley)..To get to it you have to dissesemble the rear and slide the motor out..Check to make sure its in right side up as the manual shows..This has caused many (that I have read and seen) to overheat the rear housing while also melting there slipper pads, spur gear, and there slipper spring...This can cause alot of damage in the slipper assembly while subsequently destroying the slipper thrust bearing.. Hope this adds some insight to those running into slipper issues..

Its 91090, the first part in that image is the slipper thrust spacer, then the slipper thrust bearing, and then the slipper thrust washer.. The manual as that image shows has just one slipper thrust washer, put one or two more of those washers there if you are slipping excessively, its better to put the washers there than putting them between the slipper plate and spring imo..


Some put that slipper thrust spacer in backwards causing a heap of more issues, like melting your slipper assembly and spur...

Thanks alot guys. Help this guy out.


Check your spacer bc based on your pics it seems that i can see the lip of the slipper thrust spacer sticking out, which if so would indicate that it was assembled incorrectly, and causing your slipper issues..Page 27 of the manual shows in which way the spacer should be assembled, with the lip going into the shaft housing (not out as it seems your photo shows, which I have done and seen others do causing major slipper problems, including excessive slipping, excessive slipper heat, melting spurs and pads with no regard)..

MarqueeRc thinks its worth checking
