4. I recommend a drill press with a vise. or a very steady hand. Drill hole through the center of the slipper back plate. flat part of slipper disc acts as a guide so it is easy to drill a hole into the round shaft. and this will help you locate the exact position to drill as well.

5. Disassemble, now take slipper disc and notch it so it can slide over pin like a wheel hex. Notch by sanding or grinding the plastic belt pulley so it also slips over pin.

6. cut pin to fit within the square of the slipper disc.

7. Reassamble transmission with pin.

8.Slide pulley on

9. slip disc back in

10. Reassemble and verify that the slipper unit spins without wobbling. if it wobbles. you might need to to grind some material away from the high side to balance it out.

The belt pulley holds pin inside so you never lose it.

You will gain acceleration and braking. more corner entry speed and exit speed. and equal slipper action which makes truck more stable to me.

Sorry for crap pictures/dirty truck. i haven't cleaned it since i raced it Saturday night.

Inglish is not my native language, so im having a hard time understanding it the correct way.

But all this work is for what? better acceleration and braking?
All this work is for what problems to eliminate?
I keep reading about people having wheelies with this truch? is that why?

isnt this to much thinking for a tiny little "problem"

what is it exactly what you guys are trying to eliminate and gain with this?

help me understand this..

I drive this truck from day one and havent had any issues, just crank down ( lock-up the slipper ) I do drive the clicker engaged 24/7
