My rear arms look ok. Some De or the wide Jconcepts wheels would be good. Spares, servo saver assy, spur gears, maybe the steering uprights. Not many spares needed. I've run my truck w/ very little problem.
I'd get the rcshox slipper pads and or the MTK clutch basket as well.

Is AE coming out with the 2nd pic of the Top shaft with pin hole & inner slipper hub, with the indent for the pin.....That 2nd picture, looks like it mite solve all the problems, people are having....NICE JOB!!!
I said this before, i bought 2packs of Slipper Hardware, and used the thrust washer that was machined the widest...The widest was .27mm wider then the smallest of the 3 thrust washers i have.....So with that and HD pads in&out it worked well for me. I'm hoping the RCSHOX Dual slipper will make it even better!!....I can still use alil more burst from the slipper on the CLAY track i run on....
In the 3rd pic, what is the a-arm on the RIGHT bent???
thx

I'm using the rcshox pads and haven't had any problems, haven't noticed any fade and haven't sanded them at all. Probably 5-6 race days or nights on them so far. They work well and are much better than the Ft pads.
Both of those arms are bent, pretty badly. The pic makes it hard to tell whats what. The front edge of the arms are pretty straight. The back edge is where all the bend is. I think the bend is equivalent to adding castor?

Very good idea, and the transition back to NO PIN, would be seem less, or would u need a new inner hub.?. Since u altered it to fit the PIN??
Cool, i was wondering how long they last....I am going to use them this week.
Yes, they look alil bent in the back, but it would be hard to tell while still on the car, I would think?
thx

If this is the intention just pin the spur to the inboard hub.....

The more things change, the more they stay the same LOL. Don't remember who said it, but that "pinned" slipper looks just like the assembly on the 2's, 3's, and RC10GT. Truck got here today. Looking forward to trying out this ORCA speedo, first time I've ever seen one in person.
On the A-arms, is it just the fronts that warp? Got gift certificates for my bday that I didnt' use buying the truck, so looks like some wheels, tires, and spare parts are in order.

I put one regular yellow slipper pad on the inside and two ht pads in the basket and my truck is twitchy as hell like its a nervous wreck lol super darty, can anyone explain it, i'm going to change it but just wondering so I can understand it more. Also would bent front arms make it darty or nervous also?

The way the decoupled slipper works, it puts more power to the axle that has the most load on it (the rear under power and the front under braking), and it makes that end slip the most. In theory it would allow for better grip,
but in reality I want the truck to stop pulling wheelies when I gas it. And I want it to stop getting nervous and wanting to swap ends when I hit the brakes.
That requires that you un-decouple the slipper, so you get two (or if your are using the basket, three) discs dedicated to slipping the whole drive train as a unit rather than some unknown random percentage being split between the front and rear that you can't control. This fixes the wheelie problem, and makes the truck more stable when you get off the power.
It's your truck, do what you want with it. Just because you don't perceive that the problem exists, or you perceive that you aren't effected by that problem, does not mean you don't have it and it's not real.
It's not like if you don't like it coupled you can't pull out the roll pin and go back to the way it was before....

so if you want the slipper to only work on the rear you must pin the rear housing to the spur gear right?
and Craig you are right, the wheelies get old!
