Losi Slipper Clutch on X6

[gazhillAE]

Seen a few people running these instead of the associated one :)

What are the differences other than the slight adjustments working a bit better with the Losi one :woot:

Can someone give me a list of whats required and i will give one ago.

Will it need a new layshaft or will the associated one be ok?

And will the AE 78t spur still be ok to use??

Cheers

[Darren Boyle]

Gaz, dont bother mate, the AE is far better in my opinion (i have tried both).

If you do......you need losi spur (78), losi pads x 2, losi slipper plates and the losi spring/cup set (A3124 I think from memnory), but honestky dont waste your time it is NO better, IMHO worse.

We have our own range of machined spurs due out any day and these coupled with the standard AE slipper parts work ace (since the slipper pad "locks" in rather than being loose) and also give the most comprehensive range of spur gear sizes available anywhere too!!!! (70 - 80 all inclusive)

I'm using Trinity BK spur (56dp) and losi friction pads - rest is AE stock.
I belive that it doesn't worth to replace AE spur with Losi one, however it's simple swap. If you really want - you can try.

List what you need - losi spur and pads

Cracking reply :p

Was talking to mr dodd on sunday, great help, great guy and hes using one said he loves it...silly boy hehe!

Problem ive got which is what you may of covered is that the two AE slipper pads might be in the shape of a hexagon but they just dont sit tight enough in the spur gear recess!

Will have to have words with Mat for running a gay slipper........ LOL :p

Looking forward to the spurs get onto me when you get them!

[Mike Hudson]

Are these new spur gears coming out machined or moulded?

[Darren Boyle]

Machined mate (for precision).........

[YoungChazz]

Even I can't wait. Darren's promised to send me a 70 for my X - 60 in stock truck. Add a 30-T pinion, and dialed! Big fan helps...

[trekkerkk]

ive been using the losi slipper for quite some time,
i personally find it far better than the associated one,

Defo try one of these buddy, thats the main problem with AE Slipper the fact the pads are not tight in the spurs!!!

Matt

So did you have the AE one on for the qualifing last weekend then.........:p
Seemed to improve a bit in the final for you not one mistake i was watching must of been that losi slipper :thumbsup:
Pitty i had one grip role issue whilst i was leading it and lost a good few seconds getting marshalled, still finished with a cracking time though but Evison beat me to the flag again!!!! :thumbdown:

[matdodd]

Ye I drove clean in the final and did a faster 14 lapper than Chris had done ;) missed your final though sorry dude.

[Darren Boyle]

Mat, maybe the slipper matches the yellow wheels :p ;)

Will sort you out a spur as soon as they come in, I will be sending an email about all the new stuff to the team guys in the coming few days hopefully

[matdodd]

Thanks :thumbsup:,

Yellow wheels are the future though! :p

[andy05]

Thanks :thumbsup:,

ONLY IF YOUR GAY:p

[ashleyb4]

You would know dude ;)

[andy05]

You would know dude ;)
Yeah your my letter box and im the postman

[Kopite]

i tried yellow wheels once, then washed myself with bleach and wire wool, and went back to white ones.

yellow wheels + supporting Everton = MASSIVE BENDER

[andy05]

No amount of bleach can save you from being a homo

Looks like I beat you by 2 seconds :p

See you at Worksop mate.

[matdodd]

I did say had done mate, I didnt stay to see your final :(
O and I make it 1.5 secs :p had a few more cars to lap than you though ;)

See you at Worksop

[super__dan]

I'm a massive supporter of the Losi slipper, the main problem (for me) is that the B4 spring goes from fully tight to slack in a very small window where as the Losi window is several turns using the hydra spring.

I look forward to using the new spurs but I'll be sticking with the Losi spring.

[Kopite]

I would've thought that the losi unit's main advantage was that it 'spread the load' from the spring to the pads better (as the spring/plastic bits are bigger), therefore making it more consistent.

Losi slipper all the way, with, if i remember rightly, some XXX-NT bits (I think Darren from DMS knows what parts i mean)

Worksop soon hehe see you there dude

[matdodd]

Very mate :( I had a few 2.4 problems and only made 5th:thumbdown:
Made 2nd in the final though so not to bad!

[CCristo]

Chazz,

Any plans to stock these in the X-Factory store (US)?

[YoungChazz]

We have the Losi plates in stock, Chris, because they are X - 5 parts. Also the 3124 spring & retainer kit. Not sure if they are on the store, but E-mail me and we'll get 'em for you.

[CCristo]

Sorry Chazz, I should have been more specific. I meant the machined DMS spurs.

[YoungChazz]

I can't wait for Darren to send me my 70. (Hint, Darren, hint...) Dialed in stock truck!!!

Now where's that 30 pinion?

[Darren Boyle]

Hi Guys, the whole batch of "Stealth" X6/X60 (and B4/T4) fitting spur gears, from 70 tooth to 80 tooh are in production as we speak, should be with us and online in the next 7 - 10 days hopefully, we also have coming the "PRO" range of machined "AE pad" spurs for the X5 coming in 106/108 and 110 teeth too at the same time.

Chazz, I will personnaly ensure that you recieve the very first 70 tooth off of the production line....... ;)

Now then bitches :thumbsup:
I would of beat both of your times if i hadnt grip rolled once at the end of the striaght on new bloody tires so pipe up :p

Sunday will be close looking forward to it!!

Matt, maybe the problems with the 2.4 the week after were actually the fact you still had your velcro glovs on? Did you take them off for the final ?? Well done :cry:

Any update on these?

[Darren Boyle]

Any update on these? Yes..... they have all arrived into stock this week and have just finished being packaged up. A press release is going out to all of our dealers and many R/C News sites in the coming day or so (including to Jimmy from this very own wonderful site :blush:) and they should start to appear on the internet and dealers stores over the next week now....

I run an X-60 with the Associated pads and the Losi spring/plastic setup. What is a good starting adjustment point for this set up?

Thanks for the help

Stick with the AE, if you use the GT2 spring it eliminates the b4 window springs problems.

[super__dan]

Rando, it such a personal taste thing I can't really give you a starting setup, just whack it all on and try it.
Wayboarder, interesting I'll defo get one of those to try out with the new DMS spur gears I'll be getting.

[YoungChazz]

Got mine the other day, and they look great.

As you may know, I can't race more than once every six week or so -- too many other commitments -- so I won't be able to try it until Nov 6 - 7 at Classic Hobbies, and Nov 8 at ARCS. That is, if one of the world's best R/C mechanics is able to fit the part.

I hope we can carry them on www.xfactorystore.com

In stock truck, a ratio of 29/70 or even 30/70 should be dialed.

[Darren Boyle]

Any update on these??
Yes they are available from stock now from ourselves OR any of our great X-Factory UK dealers.....

Press releases go out first then the products go online to see and to purchase. They can be ordered if you just add your requirment to the "special requests" box in checkout."

It works well, just the spring is needed, and I gotta open up and look at my car, but I dont recall it needing any shims to maximize the thread usage.
