Don't know why you can't drive the truck with the slipper .
I can drive it fine with the slipper and a basket. It's just not as fast as pinned with the track all rutted up. I think on a smooth track it would be slower with the pin.

Or maybe two pads isn't enough? It's not enough for the factory AE guys, here is (I think) Pudge's truck with multi part slipper at the Reedy race:

4.5 550 ballistic is mass power?

I'm not convinced I need less, but maybe. The truck was easier to drive with the 6.5 540, but thermaled in six minutes with enough gear to be racy with the Losi trucks at my local track. Maybe somewhere in between.

Mine is pretty close to there, maybe less, never hotter. With the stock two disc slipper it was so hot after seven minutes you couldn't touch the gear cover. And you could no longer double the same section you could triple early on.

After 10 minutes, my battery only takes about 1700 MAH. With the basket, that is.
