The answer is: You can!

The problem is that none of the existing centre diffs from buggies & truggies have slippers built in, and quite alot of work had to be done in order to get one to fit, as can be witnessed by the Candymans mod-job. Im not sayng its a bad idea, far from it, but what I am saying is that you have to be really rather skilled with metal working and have a good eye for engineering to make it work; which puts most people off attempting it. The beauty of the RCM slipperentials is that they are drop-in units that require no custom work to be done- just a shame Mike only has one pair of hands.....

Great! So most of the truggy conversions I've seen (so far) do not have a slipper in the system. And I for one run my slipper tightened all the way down, as I know many others do, thus basically taking the slipper out of the picture for all but ht emost jarring of landings. I know the benefits of a slipper has been debated on here before, but I think I may go the route of not using one...........at least unitl Mike has grown a few more limbs.
