Is it necessary to run slipper plates/notched/pads on your pede tranny?
All the ones I've seen in person don't.
I'm making a run to the LHS want to know before heading out.

Thanks ya'll

Mike,

So far i dont run a slipper on mine.

I B..

VMGontheRocks · Aug 13, 2006

I do and I tighten it down all the way. Never slipped before.

Todd1803 · Aug 13, 2006

Mike, Can't say from first hand experience, but I've read that you are pretty good with no slip on a traditional setup, but that a properly set up slipper can save a ton of repairs downstrean in the drivetrain if you run a brushless setup.

ive driiled and tapped mine,no slipper not needed we want possitive drive every were all the time.

Slipper? Is that the part that has the little 4 gears in it?

Todd1803 · Aug 14, 2006

Crash - The slipper is on the top shaft of the tranny, outside of the actual tranny case, where the spur gear attaches. I don't know if all stampeded tranny's have them or not.

i believe youre desribing a planatary diff , the slipper is on the spur gear.

Ok--mine came with a hub thingy and no slipper....

You have the spur adapter I believe.

I assume thats one of upgrade parts? I know where I got it (tammies) sells them with all the good parts..

VMGontheRocks · Aug 14, 2006

Well sort of. It is what Tammies uses instead of the slipper plates.

smr4runner · Aug 14, 2006

Hey Crash.
Can you post a pick with your spur adapter?
I think I have mine setup correctly but I want to be sure.
Also. Do you use the chrome spring that is supposed to be used for the slipper. I didn't see the need so I didn't use it.
Any pics would help.

Thanks

crash2 · Aug 14, 2006

iF i get a chance I can try to snap a pic. But I never used the spring with this setup(or the lil spacer)...

smr4runner · Aug 18, 2006

OK.
Status on the 2.2 crawler.

I am currently working on the driveshafts. I went with Jatos as they have more splines and are abit more beefy.

It is setup as such.
Running metal diff yoke with female shaft connected to axle.
Running Jato yoke from tranny to male shaft.
It looks like I need to extend both front and rear driveshafts. Albeit I read that only the rear needs to be extended. Of course that is not the case with me. Oh and I know what your going to ask. I am currently running 13 wb.

My question is what process are you guys using to extend the drive shafts.
I have two sets of driveshafts to do this process but want to make sure I don't screw it up.

Do I;

1. Take another male shaft, cut in half and glue to the female shaft that is connected to axle. Then take another female shaft and glue to the 1/2 male shaft that was CA glued to the female shaft.
Once glue has hardened insert male shaft connect from the tranny and place into the now extended female shaft. Cut to length.

2. Step away from the project. Walk into the house. And try and pick another hobby because I just confused the hell outta you and me! he he

Oh ya. If ya have any pics that would help immensely. Tanks

I B RACIN · Aug 18, 2006

Mike, I used 2 male shafts..(that just sounds wrong, don't it)..1 on the axle and 1 on the trans, then cut the U-joint end off a female. the 2 males should be about 1/4'' apart then slide the female over the 2 at 50/50, then if you have another female you can fill the gap from the 1st female to the diff yoke, ca glue the filler peace on the diff side, then the one that you split between the 2 males, and glue on the diff side also..

now I'm sure its as clear as mud...:wtf:

Call me if you still need help.

Thanks Torry.
I completed it before checking your reply. Although I did do similar to your instructions. Thanks for the info. It was reassuring.

The mockup is complete. The wheels/tires should be here tomorrow so hopefully I can deal with the limited steering that is common with the TLT. It looks limited even without tires on.

The 645 should be plenty for the steering correct? I figure if it worked ok on my clod pushing 40series tires it should work fine with the 2.2 wheels.

Mike

Todd1803 · Aug 18, 2006

Isn't it better to have two females and one male than one female and two males?? (sorry, I couldn't resist)

I actually ordered a bunch of 2.2 stuff this week. Maxx shafts, Blackfoot stub axles, Max Climber axles, a body, misc stuff like that.

It's kinda like having hydraulic steering on a 1:1. It'll move the tires just fine. My JR 125 works great for me and yours has a little more torque than mine I believe.{125oz/[email protected]/in@6v} for mine.

smr4runner · Aug 19, 2006

Very cool Todd. We gotta keep up with Torry here. he he

Tanis. Thanks for the advice. The 645's is plenty of power as I found out this morning. The SW2 is rolling now. Weepy! :rb:

Another question for you TLT dudes.

I have the G-Made wideners. All is tighten down but I get quite a bit of
wobble from the wheels. It looks like the wobble is coming from the axle stubs as I can see it moving about against the axle shaft when wiggling the tire. Is this normal?
