I figured I would start a thread on racers experiences with the Slipperential. I got mine on Thursday. It went together without a problem. I found I needed 2 gaskets on the diff side. It says to do this in the instructions if the gears are tight. So in all it went together without a problem. So I dropped it in my Losi 8ight-E buggy. I did need to trim some plastic from the plate under the diff. I am running the MMM 2200kv on a 4 cell lipo.
I raced today and was pleased with performance. It takes a different driving style. I found you have to drive it more like a nitro buggy now. You need to roll up to jumps instead of relying on the instant acceleration of the direct drive setup. But I was able to turn smoother laps. And to be honest I felt more at ease knowing some of the shock was being taken away from the motor.
I went with 7k diff fluid in my center diff. I am wondering what some others are running? I ended up with a .060 gap between the pressure plate and aduster ring. What have others found to be a good setting?
I am happy with my purchase. It's a very nice part and I feel worth the money.
