Whats the benefit of running the gear diff? When would you run it types of surface etc. Also what weight oil and for what surfaces? My car has it installed and was curious if its prefered over the ball diff. 1/10 is very very new to me..

Hey all, i'm a recent addition into the buggy world and built the RB6 over the holidays. Having never built a slipper clutch before (my other RC is a 4WD Tekno SCT410 which does not have one), i'm curious if anyone has any advice/thoughts on doing it correctly. I'm planning to start by running 2WD stock class (17.5) at SDRC. It was suggested that i install the slipper eliminator (Kimbrough 69T spur and slipper eliminator) for running stock.
My first question is, for those that run stock, do you still have the slipper installed? Or do you use the eliminator?
My second question is, for those who use the slipper (stock or otherwise), how do you assemble it so that the pad stays aligned with the plates as you are tightening everything down? I keep having the pads slip away from the center spur and then rotate slightly so that the edge holes on the pad no longer align with the little tabs on the gear. As a result i don't think i'm getting good contact between the plates and the pads, and i'm having a really tough time getting it adjusted correctly. Any advice on building and setting the slipper would be welcome. Thanks!

I might go the eliminator route in a few months just to see if I notice a difference. I only have 2 track days on it so far, and am running it rear motor. So far so good though, I love it!

Try this. Grab the gear and place the pad on it so it is facing the sky. Take the slipper plate and put it on top of the pad. Now take the car and turn it over so the top shaft will slide through the slipper plate, pad, and gear assembly you just built. Push it all of the way on. Now hold it on and slowly rotate the car over 180 degrees so the gear is now facing the sky. Install the remaining pad, slipper plate, spring retainer (if equipped), spring, spring retainer and nut. Tighten the nut until there is enough pressure on the slipper plate to keep it in position. Then place the car on the wheels and proceed to adjusting the slipper when ready. You could probably use the same steps with the slipper eliminator if needed. I hope that made sense.

Where can I get a red plastic tool box like Jared has?

Has anyone tried the Schelle 4-hole 1.4 + 1.1, 1.5 + 1.1, or 1.6 + 1.1 pistons? If so, please share you experiences including shock oil used etc. Going to try 1.4 in front and 1.6 in rear with 32/30 oil respectively.

A ball diff is much easier to adjust and is more efficient when adjusted properly.
I have been running a gear diff on medium traction clay for about 2 months now. I put it into action when my ball diff gave out during a race. I like the gear diff because it gives me one less thing to worry about.

I believe you are talking about this one, click here?
It comes in red and green which are identical, double cover (two levels) then it comes in blue in a single level and a double double, which is essentially two of the double level ones conected back to back

The benefits of a gear diff is durability and consistency.

A ball diff can generally give better traction on lower bite surfaces. Unlike a gear diff it doesn't really pack up much when more power is run through the diff. It comes down to personal preference to which you run.

Is it better to run the diff tighter or looser?
I run it until I can hold one tire and spin the other one spins 1/2 a turn when spun. I mean but heck maybe my diff setting is why my car is loose.

I tested with the zack rogers setup yesterday. Have the exact setup, I could not get the rear to stop swinging around. What are the electronics on the car? Mine are shorty to motor and esc behind servo. I tried white fronts as well. This with 8.5 motor and dirt webs sauced golds for indoor clay. The b5ms can put down the power super easy.
Also thinking of going RM on my second car to test back to back.
