Another question about DB01 Double slipper..
 

I have the DB01 double slipper on its way and was wondering if you can tune different slip for front and rear(i dont see different pad material available from tamiya)

I now that LOSI,Hotbodies and kyosho have slippers that can be adjusted..just wondering if the tamiya model can do the same:confused:

the B4 pads work in there...

Unfortunatly, you can't have 2 different rates (1 front and 1 rear) as the slipper works on the center shaft which is rigid. But you can fit a center 1 way...

Mark (DB01R Owner)

The center shaft is rigid but one of the pulleys is not driven directly so it can slip/rotate indepently from the other.
The DB01R doesnt come with the double slipper.

whats the difference between the double slipper and normal slipper?

Does anyone have a pic of a double?

There you go :)

I use the double slipper, and you can't independently set front/rear slip, but they slip independently of each other if that makes sense?

I "think"'how it works is as follows:

The far pulley which runs the front belt is locked to the layshaft, so slips whenever the standard slipper unit slips. The near pulley which runs the rear belt is squeezed between the slipper and far pulley against friction pads, so can slip independently of the other pulley. What that means is you can have the rear slip while having drive to the front, but whenever the front slips the rear also slips (as the whole layshaft does). I hope that's not the wrong way round!?

They can't be set independently as both the main slipper and the pulley friction is driven by tightening the single standard slipper nut! Effectively then when running it you either get even front/rear slip or more rear slip, but it's not too dynamic due to being set through the single nut!

you can use different slipper pad material either side, to affect different slippage, but basically, one spring affects both sides, one side slips anddrives the front, the other side slips and drives the rear.
