A Slipper Clutch is found in many RC Cars and trucks. Most often they are found in off road vehicles and with good reason. In the video we cover how a Slipper Clutch works, what its core purpose is and the 2 specific uses that we have for them in our RC Cars!

Thanks dude, my friend told me my slipper clutch was broken, and now I know what that means and why that matters.

Thank you! Modern radios are incredible. Now I think of the slipper clutch as a drivetrain fuse😎

That's a good explanation. If you are interested, I would appreciate it if you could make a video of these later. Increase in rotational inertia with wheel weight and diameter Servo and bearing load increase with use of wheel widener Motor Cooling Efficiency Using Heat Pipe Increase in transmission distance by increasing transmitter output Error according to the measured material of the infrared thermometer Vehicle weight movement and the efficiency of the sway bar Maximum efficiency load and maximum power section of the motor merry christmas

Merry Christmas 11 1. I'd love to do some of those video just not sure if I have the right equipment to come up with the data. I'll look in to it, but won't be able to make any promises.

Thank you for the explanation. I think I burnt the slippers in both my MERV and Mini Summit yesterday bashing in the snow with paddle tires!!! Should I tighten up the slippers first or just replace them?

@RCexplained 3 жыл бұрын

Why do you figure the slipper clutch was excessively slipping? I would take apart the clutch to determine if the frictional material is in fact worn.

@jdsrcs8061 3 жыл бұрын

@@RCexplained both rigs smelled pretty bad. I would say the smell was like a maual transmission that someone rode the clutch. I will take them apart and look for glazing and hot spots. Thank you

Yes how do you tune one

@gundamboy195 2 жыл бұрын

tighten the screw for the spring to reduce slipping, loosen it for more slipping.
