1) is the benefit having equal slip front to back making it more tunable with lighter slipper settings?

2) Or is it balancing the bias the front rear slip that has been screwed by the clutch basket?


If 2 is the goal can the clutch basket be put behind the spur providing more grip in the slipper to the front drive?

The clutch basket builds in a bias with the extra friction surface at the one side.

So right now the front slips first and gives a surge to the rear causing the wash that we battle with this truck coming out of a turn.

Putting the basket behind the spur would force the slip to the rear and allow the truck to pull itself out of the corner.


My truck is at the track in a pit room so I cannot even see if its possible today.

Just thinking out loud here. What are your thoughts?
Not sure you'd have enough motor shaft length to flip the basket over. My pinion is already pretty far out on the shaft.

I hear ya, mines sounding rough too. I'm going to look into it a little more today. Mines making a nasty sound pinned and un-pinned now....
