The spur will now mount on the slipper instead. By tightening down the spring, you add tension to 2 aluminum discs that hold on to the spur gear via friction pads. The stronger the tension the tighter the hold. So in the event of impact to the transmission (e.g. when landing off a jump or very hard acceleration), the spur will "slip" but the aluminum disks, shaft, pulleys... transmission does not move.
thanks for explaining BC. If my intepretation of your explaination is correct, to a certain extent, with the slipper, drivetrain is less susceptible to the brunt of the off-road but at the sacrifice of power delivery. Without the slipper, power is directed to the drivetrain. However, with the slipper, it also offers a certain amount of 'tuning' with regards to the tension of the springs.......

tio bo???

Yes you are right. Although with the slipper you can tighten the spring all the way and almost lock it out... but that would defeat the purpose. Slippers today are used (to my knowledge) only in off-road as there is no real need for them in on-road applications. Off road transmissions are subjected to different kinds of stresses and often have to deal with hard jolts when free wheeling wheels (in the air) land and suddenly meet with hard resistance. Belt drive cars have a little more "give" because of the belts but slippers are still pretty much standard in race-level machines.

lol... sorry the epmt guys got no focus and not committed to anything one... so the entire year got many different seasons. Anyone reading through the thousands of posts there will see...

- EP buggies / STs / truggies
- GP buggies / STs / truggies
- hauler trucks (one even made it to RC Driver!)
- tanks
- helicopters
- IFOs
- minis, micros
- boats, yatchs
- super scale and 2.2" crawlers

and not to mention valuable info about diaper rash cream, etc.

Currently EP buggies in fashion though...

Have noticed that the foreign enthu has a liking for BL motor for their buggies, any particular reason why so? ease of maintenance?

BL motors are great for bashing!

They are near zero maintenance as opposed to brushed motors that require comm cutting, cleaning, etc. to keep motor performance at it's peak. Their performance isn't lacklustre either - the lower turn motors are very speedy (think 5.5-6.5 range).

Ever since trying a BL setup I've run them in most of my buggy setups.
