Too much slip - RC-Monster Forums

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?

I was using 50k but last time I rebuilt it I had no fluid left so i just used diff grease. I have no idea how much my muggy weighs. Im guessing around 13lbs.
