Slipper melt problem

[richarddanis79]

So i have a mgt 4.6 just upgraded to the 8.0 tranny for reliability but i put my origanal spur setup on and i think it wasn't tight enough would this,be the reason behind this also can you tell me if the friction rings and cups that go on the outstide look good also best way to,tighten the slipper down good thank you in adcance everyone

Also parts I'm gonna need and links are always great or a sliper upgrade tgats more resilient

If it's slipping too much this is what happens,...snug it up good and back it off 1/4 turn -1/2 turn

Put pegs in all 12 holes in the new spur, hit the friction rings in pic 2 with some 600grt sand paper(or replace them) before putting it back together.
eBay is your friend, for parts.

The 8.0 uses a completely different spur configuration than the 4.6. If your not using the extra spur brace on the 8.0 your going to walk the spur off the mount no matter how tight it is.

I have the 4.6 config on the 8.0s i took the whole shaft off the 4.6 and switched them people do it to the 8.0 so you can change the spur size

If the locator post on the slippers Pressure Plate(pic 3) is damaged then I would replace them too.
Below is the traxxas version but works identical to the AE.

That I didn't know they were interchangeable. How I adjust my slipper I always tighten it down completely then back off about a 1/4 turn.
