Default Robinson Racing Slipper/Spur for Flux

Just got my new edition of Xtreme RC mag and I found a picture of this and had to do some digging around to find it on RR's website but here is an upgraded, tougher version of the slipper unit for us Savage Flux users. Looks interesting and promising.

That looks like a sweet setup. I would deffinatly buy it if they made it for the Nirto version.

It is a good fix for HPI's slipper pad problems. The only way your not tearing up the slipper pad on a HPI gear is if the slipper is cranked clear down, thus disabling it.

Good point. I've tried to back off the tension on the slipper on myFlux HP so that it would actually slip a little like it's supposed to. However, the power of the motor and the friction created by the clutch makes the spur gear VERY hot. I'm not sure if everyone has this issue. I would like to tone down the wheelies and backflips a little so Ican actually do some legitimate driving. I may be purchasing one of these Robinson units soon.

It almost seems pointless (to me) that HPI featured a slipper on this truck in the first place. It's basically not used since you have to put so much tension on it in order for the truck to function. Perhaps including a sealed center differential would have been a betteroption.
