Hi,

I know this is a stupid question, so please don't shoot the noob :cry:
The last time I competed in 2WD was about 20 years ago with a Top Cat which had no slipper clutch at all. Now I decided to give 2WD racing a go again and bought a TRF201. Today I tried to adjust the slipper clutch on a football ground with red clay surface. I somewhere read that the clutch should make a screaming noise for about 1m/ 3 feet. Unfortunately no matter how thight or loose the clutch was set the only sound I could hear was the tires kicking up dirt. Could you guys please give me a hint? I've no offroad RC club around so there is no one to ask.

Cheers, Norbert

Hey Norbert,

try the following: Loose the slipper nut until your car doesn´t even move if you accelerate. Then tighten the nut in about 1/4 revs until it moves, and then tighten as much until it doesn´t slip, set it back 1/8 and it should work .
