Stobe slipper ?

[RC-Monster Mike]

The Strobe slipper is the best available, but matching that low ratio would be pretty tough(requires an 8.5 tooth pinion, which is too small for a mod1 pinion due to the larger teeth). I carry mod1 pinions as small as a 10 tooth, and could get a bore reducer to make it fit the HV maxx motor shafts(1/8"). The slipper comes with the needed pads, and uses the stock spring and pressure plates. Only 4 additional 3mm screws would be needed to mount the ofna spur gear to it.

Could I make up the difference with a bigger spur gear?

[RC-Monster Mike]

I suppose you could, so long as it will fit. i have a couple ofna 66 tooth spurs(I think, maybe 62 teeth?) that should bolt to the slipper. Whether or not they clear the drive cups would be the next question. I will do a mock up to see if they would work.

Please do and let me know. I have this brand new chassis, diffs, and cvd's I want to break in. I really don't want to lock the slipper down again. I think that's what started all this in the first place. :)

[RC-Monster Mike]

It is a 65 tooth. It clears the drive cups, too! About an 11 tooth pinion would be the same reduction(which I don't have). A ten tooth would be a little slower(more reduction 6.5:1), while a 12 tooth would be slightly faster(slightly less reduction 5.4:1) than the 12/72 (6:1 reduction).

Excellent! Would you send me an email with the total including a 12 and a 10 t pinion.

what about modifying a traxxas spur to fit the strobe , would only req presice drilling of 4 holes and dremel out the rest , would this be possible , then all 32 pitch pinions would be avail

You need some proper tools to make the hole perfect in the middle.

what exactly does the sprong kit do?

[Gustav]

I think the idea of the sprong is to keep a more even pressure on the plate and pads.-for more consistent performance/amount of slip.(i'm guessing)

[RC-Monster Mike]

That is exactly what the sprong does. More even, consistent pressure on the slip pads.

sorry little confused what kit do you need for the emaxx
the storbe sprong kit $12 or the strobe slipper kit with bearings $32?

[squeeforever]

you NEED to have the slipper kit but the sprong is optional. all it does is replace the spring. you dont have to have it although its a good idea.
