I love getting in trouble for using 1 'no-no' word in comedic reference on a forum of 95% adults. What a world.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

as far as the lipo cradles go, you have 2 options. The b44 one or the b44.1 specific one. Ony difference is that the b44.1 is multi-pieced and and the middle piece is designed to use the lipo weight ballast.

for those of you running the clutch basket, did it make that much of a difference?

I couldn't drive it without it. Literally couldn't drive it. With the nut locked down, it slipped so bad with the 550 motor I was afraid I was going to melt the gear cover inside of 4 minutes of run time.

I personally did not see 1 oz of difference. We have several 550 powered sc10 4x4,s at our track and none of them run the basket or rcshox disc.

What kind of surface do you guys run on? Here in el paso, I run on a very low traction loose and loamy surface. I could run a 10 min main with my lrp x12L 550 4.5 and slipper performed just like it should and wasn't locked down, it was adjusted like it should be. I went to Tucson and ran at competion hobbies on a very high bite, super smooth clay track and couldn't get the slipper to stay consistent. Even though I don't need the clutch basket for racing here in el paso, I still use it because it make my slipper pads last alot longer and I run all 3 ht pads.

No, we must be doing something wrong, that was my theory when everyone started having issues and I wasn't. Read my previous post right above this one for a brief explanation.

I ordered a basket just didnt get it yet but I have my slipper way too tight now but if I dont it will fade to the point I cant clear any jumps...even with it super tight after about 5 min I can notice some fade.

What kind of a surface do you run on? How are you on your throttle controlled and trigger squeeze? Are alot of the jumps right after a corner? Also, what motor and speedo are you running? Just curious, sorry for playing 21 questions man.

[QUOTE=lodhammerdin;9956371]What kind of a surface do you run on? indoor semi slick dirt
How are you on your throttle controlled and trigger squeeze? I'm not a very good driver at all
Are alot of the jumps right after a corner? yes..I can throttle right over them at the beginning of a run but cant after a few laps..
Also, what motor and speedo are you running? Rx8/ 1410

After I over tightened the slipper it has got alot better but I'd rather not have to do that.
