I didn't tighten my slipper clutch enough on my 2nd build, and ended up stripping the spur gear completely bald. Threw on a Kimbrough 76 tooth spur gear, and now I have it working great. The slipper is super easy to adjust. To tighten it, just grab a hold of the small bolt with some pliers, and roll the car forward. Go the other way to loosen it. When the car is off and you roll it forward you should hear and feel the motor being engaged. If you roll the car forward and hear a smooth rubbing sound, tighten that slipper clutch! Both my xv-01's are fast now and I'm loving it!

How many t on your pinion are you running?

I have a Steel 28T 48P pinion gear on there. Get a steel one if you can.

That will work, I wouldn't go any bigger, 77T is what comes with the Tamiya Slipper Clutch Kit. I have a 76 working now.

Yeah I'm using a Tamiya 25 and 24t pinion.

But the Kimbrough 77t slipper gear I posted is 1.9" in diameter according to TowerHobbies. The Tamiya Slipper is about 1.5". But I did find a Kimbrough 78t that's 1.6"

How big is the diameter on your 76t? I was all set to buy the Kimbrough 77t before I found out it was 1.9". I'm not a 100% sure that will under the gear cover.

This is the one I bought.

Nice, I ended up buying the 78t Kimbrough slipper gear at my LHS for $4

Until yesterday, the pinion apparently came loose and slid down the shaft and chewed up the outside portion of the spur gear (about 1mm off the spur teeth). I readjusted the pinion, and it's still usable with 80% width of teeth on the spur, but I'd like to replace it.

Do you know where I can buy just the spur for the slipper clutch? Or do I have to order a whole new slipper assembly? It's the spur that has that hex shape built in for the slipper pads.

Hi

You can try Tamiya (#54219) TRF201 48 Pitch Spur Gear 77T. The same happened to the spur on my XV and I replaced it with this.

Very nice videos by the way

Cheers

Yeah, that's the stock spur gear that comes with the XV-01 Slipper Clutch kit.

Yeah, I ended up with a 78t Kimbrough. I figured going up a tooth would help with the retarded motor temps my crap brushless combo was putting out lol

And thank you for watching the videos! "thumbsup"
