I this video i show how to add a slipper clutch to you Redcat Gen 7 pro using the slipper clutch set up for an ECX boost. the part number is ECX1024 and you can pick this up for around $6 US
Great advice and vid! So I assume this is for parts ECX1024 for the slipper and ECX1076 for the Spur? Is that the stock spur you're using? I'm getting my Gen 7 Pro in a couple of days, found it cheap now that the Gen 8 is out.
I just added the parts to my truck tonight and it works perfectly! It should have come with a slipper clutch as an OEM part. The pinion didn't line up with the spur gear until I flipped it backwards. Dead on! Thank you sharing your discovery through this video. I anticipate so much less damage now. 👍😃
it allows the motor to slip when the drivetrain comes under extreme stress. basically if you have a tire that comes up the air and freespins then hits something grippy it will shock load the drivetrain and something will usually break(transmission, driveshafts, axle shafts, differentials, ect.) this will allow the driveline to slip so it wont break.
Nice video, I have a question though. How did you cut your spring?? I just used a pair of wire cutters to cut mine. My problem is once i put everything on and tighten the spring down its making the gear kick up on one side and when you spin the tires the gear is so wobbly that you couldn't run it. I can put the original back on and it works fine?? only thing I can think of its the way I cut the spring.. Need some advice...
UPDATE, if your like me and mess up the only spring you have :( a piece of nitro fuel tubing cut to length the same as with the spring just enough threads to get the nut started works like a charm...c
