  • A Slipper Clutch is found in many RC Cars and trucks. Most often they are found in off road vehicles and with good reason. In the video we cover how a Slipper Clutch works, what its core purpose is and the 2 specific uses that we have for them in our RC Cars!

    Thanks dude, my friend told me my slipper clutch was broken, and now I know what that means and why that matters.

    Modern radios are incredible. Now I think of the slipper clutch as a drivetrain fuse😎

    Thank you for the explanation. I think I burnt the slippers in both my MERV and Mini Summit yesterday bashing in the snow with paddle tires!!! Should I tighten up the slippers first or just replace them?

    • @RCexplained
      @RCexplained  3 роки тому +1

      Why do you figure the slipper clutch was excessively slipping? I would take apart the clutch to determine if the frictional material is in fact worn.

      @@RCexplained both rigs smelled pretty bad. I would say the smell was like a maual transmission that someone rode the clutch. I will take them apart and look for glazing and hot spots. Thank you

    That's a good explanation.
    If you are interested, I would appreciate it if you could make a video of these later.

    Servo and bearing load increase with use of wheel widener
    Motor Cooling Efficiency Using Heat Pipe
    Increase in transmission distance by increasing transmitter output

      Merry Christmas 11 1. I'd love to do some of those video just not sure if I have the right equipment to come up with the data. I'll look in to it, but won't be able to make any promises.

      It's an added feature that works well for offroad cars. It's good but not needed on all RCs.

    • @gundamboy195

      tighten the screw for the spring to reduce slipping, loosen it for more slipping.
