Too much slip

[What's_nitro?]

Is it possible the diff body isn't threaded far enough to allow full travel of the tightening ring?

It could be a possibility.

only possible if the slipper side(large) endcap isn't completely tightened flat to the diff cup(this would also result in a leaky diff of course). Everything is sized to allow assembly with minimal spring tension and also allow full tension when tightened - the nut will partially disengage the threads when fully tightened, but will not thread itself completely off the threaded portion of the cup.

Given it was designed for racers with lighter vehicles, your setup may just be a bit too much for the slipper, in which case add an extra wave spring. You shouldn't run out of thread then.

So I would like to know if you tried the third wave spring and if so did it work?,or did you get it worked out some other way?

To be honest I haven't tried it myself, haven't felt I need to. Though I do have a spare set of springs so I can try it, just won't be able to drive it until parts get delivered

I got the third spring on last night and with the third spring and it tightened all the way down it works! The front end comes off the ground a little tiny bit on launch but no more flips or wheelies and my drive train should be safe now. So I guess with 3 springs it will work good on a huge truck like the muggy. Im happy with it now. Im running a 15t pinion, 4 cell A123 batteries and a 40 x 82 mm 2000kv 4 pole leopard motor. It moves pretty good! I will try to get some video posted when it stops raining.

What diff fluid are you using in the slipper?, and do you know how much you truck weigh's?
