By pining the front pulley to the shaft they've eliminated the de-coupled (random) slipper. the outer hub flat key drives the rear. Now its like a touring car with a slipper...
I really like the way the clutch basket works, its very predictable and allows for tuning front rear bias w/pad size. I run a Novak 4.5 14mm rotor, boosted 60 on a RX8, geared 14/58. It, with other tweeks and weight balance took almost 2 seconds of my lap times , just by being able to jump farther and get on the power earlier.
This track we run at is huge. my only problem now is i have to be carefull braking, it will flip me truck at the end of the 200 ft straight! Looks retarded watching your truck flip off the track

The problem was the rear plate slipping when you ran a loose slipper , now that won't happen , design & performance is still the same ....
With the old style slipper ?
It sometimes demanded a very tight setting to keep the rear plate from slipping.
Canceling out any benefit the slipper could bring to the car as the slipper was about locked up to get proper acceleration ...

How can design still be the same when currently the rear plate which runs the front of the truck is NOT connected or driven by the shaft, the plate is keyed into the pulley that runs the belt. If you pin the rear plate to the shaft you no longer have a decoupled slipper.
So Jorge isn't wrong and I'm pretty sure I comprehended from the start.....

Cherry has recently told me to get a real motor. I took his advise and designed a new line of motors for Viper. Thanks for the advice Geo! 
Four different KV's (3900-5200kv), two shaft size options (3-5mm) Sensored and Sensorless options.

I'm only trying to share info about parts you and most won't get to see for months from now ...
Racer & Jodge
The performance between the old & new slipper that is being tested is
about the same, hardly can tell the difference .....

Note:
Not me that that told you K ?

hum.... Now I just ordered my sc10 and the local dist told me there are some delay so it will not be included with the 'normal' shipment from AE which arrive this week, and should arrive seperately next week. Will it be the new slipper? Man I can't wait to see it......

IMO the 'dirty driving/hacking' in pro 4 is due to the fact that the losi and to some extent the durango have to be thrown into the corner and the sc10 carves the corner like a touring car. So the 1/8 copies dive in later with more speed while we are braking straight and then carving

Clutch basket cured this for me.

I'll probably stick to the decoupled setup for the sole purpose of saving the belt under hard braking. The clutch basket helped shore up forward acceleration so I'm golden atm.
