burnt slipper pads? (pics)
 

are these pads burnt or ok?http://www.rcpics.net/img/77685

They appear to be ok.

never mind the pm. i guess i'll tighten it back up. thanks.

Clean them with alcohol to see if the black stuff comes off. Maybe it was grease from the bearing?

i'll try it. i didn't realize how tight that nut and spring have to be.

They are burnt just a slightest. You can take a piece of sand papar to them. It will refresh them some. If you sand the metal slipper rings they will have better grip as well. Just a few tips I learned with alot of power.

thanks coolhand. i did scuff the rings up, so maybe it'll get a better grip. i'll run it today and let ya'll know. thanks, tally.
