It is the the same drawing only streched-out
I can understand its difficult to understand how it works.........
Just remove one side of the slipper and see if the other side will still work.

hi, after yesterday testing and have no problem with the car after four batteries the car seems to have a very good
corner entering, very agressive but it loses steering under throtle (mid-out corner), the track was very slippery
and wet so the grip wasn´t good, nevertheless I used bow tie rear and hole shot front and the car had a
great traction, very good.
the test I made against a friend with a losi xxx-4, my friend is much better pilot than I but my car works very well
,traction, corner entering and no rear slip was the key for racing with him almost at the same time.

The car lost some front traction passing through the dubbies we have at the begining of the main straight
because of the light up of the front train, no matter, I speeded up equal or better than xxx-4 and brake better so in the straight I eat him and in some corners too.

first battery the differential finished a bit hot, I could hear the diff working hard at the beginning
of the main straigth but no loosening happend and the diff was ok at the end.
I tighten it a bit for the second batt and all was ok, I think I will need to tight it a bit more if we have more grip
another day (is the usual)

From what i have heard no.

The b44 slipper means the shaft lengths are different and they dont use MIP cvds where they enter the gear boxes.

This is only what i have been told i have not tried to myself.

Thomas, the outdrives will not fit, the gearbox of the NTC3 (BJ4WE) has the outdrive support bearing closer spaced.

However...

There are ways to make them fit, and of course all of the other parts as well if you really want to use the B44 slipper. I have a race coming up this weekend where I hope to put my little "B44 slipper in Bj4WE" to the test. I will have feedback on it next week.

Some of the main challenges with the project are these:

* The whole slipper assembly sits higher in the B44 (to allow larger spurs)
* The motor sits higher as well in the B44 (not a prob in it self except that you move up the C/G even further).
* Outdrives are longer (support bearings are wider spaced), and the gearboxes themselves are very different so it is not possible to bolt on B44 boxes either to allow the wider spacing of the bearings
* B44 and Bj4WE top decks, even though they look very similar around the slipper assembly, is not compatible, screw holes are offset
* Slipper assembly top holder blocks are then of course also very different even though they look very similar

If someone else is working on this, please share your solutions and ideas.

Regards,
Roy

Default BJ4WE Slipper Conversion

Hi guys,

As promised I have put together a .pdf guide that hopefully will help at least some of you guys out.

I tried to attach it to the post, but it was unfortunately too big (260KB). However, It can be downloaded here.

Please let me know what you think.

Take care.


//Roy

those in red are from a well known USA parts house, couldn't find them in the UK. But as things stand we usually double in price for the UK, they should'nt be far out

Well worth the money if you ask me And by the way, did I ever mention it was going to be cheap?

And what, have the B44 snap in half on the first hard landing and then have to spend another 100 for replacement parts?

Apologies for the resurrection of this old thread, but I've just found it while researching what to do about the slipper in my BJ4WE.

I'm weighing up either doing this mod, or fitting a B44 slipper and centre shaft mod, mentioned in another thread, and the PDF instructions are available online, I found them with Google.

What are the handling differences likely to be between the two? What kind of surfaces does each favour? It's possible I would build one BJ4WE for each surface type.

Jordix hasn't been here in a while, and I believe he sold his BJ4WE.

or you can order 7677 items separately
7666-diff rings
6575-thrust bolt and t-nut
6574-thrust balls
6582-thrust spring
6573-thrust washers

-I used duratrax spur gear (78T or 81T) but I think are the same that kimbrough spurs.
-For last yor will need eight 1/8" differential balls, associated or any other (these are 1/12 cars ball differential)

you must make some dremel work because the differential bearing dont fit the spur center hole (outer diameter of the bearing its smaller), I saw that standar 540 motor bearing do it but internal diameter its worst...

I made a plastic part (like a bushing) to fit the gap between bearing and spur internal hole, you must put special attention to make it well rounded because if not the spur will be eccentrix, (I have to test the resistance of this piece, I think will be better in metal material but its more difficult for me making it).

Now you can mount the diff. and tighten till the spring full compression, then loose 1/4 turn.

When you mount the diff. you have to do it with T-nut towards front center shaft and insert first rear shaft (I "touch" with dremel the rear upper deck inner edges a bit for easily outdrive insert through).

Now you will see that front outdrive bearings need a spacer to stay in its correct site of the bulkhead, its very easy to make a spacer for this, you need a 4.5mm spacer (from a brass ballpen jeje).

In the rear outdrive bearing I used 2 or 3 shim spacers (ASC2293)

It can be that spur touches the center bulkhead cap so you know: dremel work in the center bulkhead, only a bit...

Some pics (for sucolega AJAJAJA):





The problem of the spur centering comes fron T-nut/front center shaft, with a shortest t-nut or shaft the spur wold be perfect in its place but...
