4992x..... I think is the shaft you need man. Good luck!! I could be wrong check 4993....that should do it.

I'd pop the gear off and spin the shaft. This is a known illusion on that tranny. Sometimes the spur gets a little warped. If you decide to replace it, I'd look into upgrading to the newer slipper assembly.

 

[pondy]

with the spur on, if you spin it upn and look at the threaded part just past the nut and spring etc its not running true so its bent, the spur is going side to side aswell, even with a new gear, have ripped the teeth on 3 spurs now, so i think this is the problem

i can't find the shaft i need, the only one i can find here is one without a hex, it has a little hole in the shaft then a thread part, if this for the new clutch design, any part numbers or info on what parts i need?

 

[Metalhead Matt]

I'm sure your right about the bent shaft causing your spur problems. The Traxxas web site should have all the info and part numbers you need.

this is the only shaft i can find, any idea what its off

the output shaft is part number 5184. The one that your slipper goes on and the spur. It's either that or 5366...input shaft, transmission. (slipper shaft).

yep the last number you gave was the shaft the drive shafts bolt onto lol

one with i was thinking, with the new shaft, are the gear ratio the same, if not i could just remove the gears from the old shaft yes?

Yea, absolutely. As long as they are still in good shape. I run an 18 tooth cb with a 54 tooth spur and my truck flies. It's all a matter of preference I guess. If your gears are still in good shape, sure re-use them. Just put a little light grease on them n go for it!

 

[Metalhead Matt]

No grease on the gears. It'll just attract dust and possibly find it's way inside the clutch bell or get on the brakes. But +1 on reusing gears. As long as they're not broke, why fix 'em.

hey matt? I don't mean to interupt the thread but let me ask ya.....what's your take on the venom failsafe? I just ordered one today as I almost pretzeled my truck yesterday....lol. these things any good? I did some reading up on them and they sound like they do their job. Any downfalls? Thanx.

 

[pondy]

if i can reuse the gears, i may aswell just get the new updated shaft, is cheaper and I'm on a budget

 

[Metalhead Matt]

I think the conversion to the newer style slipper uses it's own specific spurs. They're offset to line up correctly with the clutch bell. I've heard good things about the Venom fs, but haven't used one. My Duratrax fs works fine. I've used 2 of them and they both did what they were supposed to.

 

[pondy]

can someone tell me how to adjust the new slipper clutch, is it the same as the one with the red pegs and the spring on the front?

 

[pondy]

please bump

 

[Metalhead Matt]

The new one uses pressure plates. So you don't want to tighten it all the way down. Just get it snug and fine tune it from there.
