How to Adjust Arrma 3s 4s Slipper Clutch Setting. Kraton, Outcast, Granite, Senton, Big Rock, Typhon 

Oh yeah you can adjust the clutch with the power module still in the truck. You just need to take out the centre drive shaft. Yes 1 turn or so is about right to hopefully avoid damage. Many thanks indeed for your great feedback 😁👍👍

Hiya Damian. Well I was thinking that some of the other maintenance vids had done well so thought I'd do this. Initially it was just me talking about what I was doing but I did a bit of voiceover to make it flow better. Cheers for your kind comments as ever my friend. Best wishes to you 😁

Hi there. Glad that the video was helpful. Many thanks indeed for your kind feedback 😁👍

Hello mate. Yeah hoorah for Friday 😁🍺 I just thought I'd do this video as the other clutch one was popular but didn't really say about the noise you get when the clutch is loose. These cars are absolute tanks and I've not had to do any maintenance on this 4s car apart from the clutch. We are planning to go RC'ing on Sunday which should be good. Many thanks indeed for your great support as ever. Best wishes to you and yours 😁

Hi there. Many thanks for your kind comments. I'd definitely recommend one of these to knock around. A very solid bit of kit and great fun. Best wishes to you 😁

Hi there. Yeah I thought it was worth a quick video to go through this. Many thanks indeed for your great support as ever 😁👍

Hiya John. Yeah the design of these is quite ingenious although getting the power module back in on this one was much harder than it looked on the video. Not sure why as they normally clip back in ok. Your Typhon was a mega wasn't it so has it got the same clutch assembly as the 3s range. I did look into getting one of those 2wd ones with a view to upgrading it but when I actually looked into it there are a lot more differences including a lighter weight clutch. It would take a 2s system ok I'd have thought. Anyway, cheers for your great support as ever mate. Very best wishes to you and yours 😁👍

@@PeteWylieRC hi Pete, yeah, my Mega Typhon has everything ready to be upgraded to 3S brushless system, same clutch system, gearbox etc…I’m looking at upgrading it with a HobbyWing BL60 sensored Brushless ESC, just looking at an appropriate motor, then hopefully do a video on a budget conscious upgrade for the Mega and make it a bit more ‘peppy’ 😊😉😊best wishes 😉😊😉

Hi there. I hope you enjoy your Kraton once it's up and running. Many thanks for your great comments and the sub. Very much appreciated 😁👍

Many thanks indeed for your great feedback. It's much appreciated 😁👍

Hi there. Yeah I thought it was worth doing a short video of just this info. Many thanks indeed for watching and commenting 😁👍

Hi there. Oh yeah I thought it was worth doing a demo of how it is with the clutch slipping. The trouble is with it being over tight is that the gears might get trashed if the clutch doesn't slip when something gets jammed. Many thanks indeed for your great feedback. Much appreciated 😁👍

Ha, well it's really only a couple of Tamiya kits in value. Definitely good to have one of these to beat up so the Tamiya's can enjoy a nice easy(ish) life. Cheers for watching mate 😁👍

Hey that's cool. Many thanks for your feedback 😁👍

Hiya Bob. You should definitely get one of these for knocking around. Lots of fun. Many thanks indeed for watching and commenting. Best wishes to you and yours 😁

@@PeteWylieRC I can think of other things to drop 500 bucks on mate... however, beating the shit out of an RC and have it live gets me thinking. LOL

@@UncleBobsRC other things I could spend $500 on 🤔 well I guess I could fill my real car with petrol 😂 Actually more like half a tank at current prices 🤣

Copy That!!!

Many thanks indeed. Hope you have a lovely weekend too :-)

@@PeteWylieRC thank you my friend

Oh who reads instructions? 🤣 Thought it was worth showing it and also demonstrating the sound of the clutch slipping. Many thanks for watching and your great comments 😃👍

@@PeteWylieRC It's where they hide useful info, but i think now days its hard to find anyone who has an attention span of more then 1 min ( which is why i dont watch shorts .. if you've done any, sorry , havent checked lol ), but yeah is useful having things like the sound to reference against and problem solve things if you have no idea of where to start or what you doing is good :)

@@Granite-City-RC Oh I have done a couple of shorts I'm afraid but I agree that they are a bit of a waste of time like TikTok 🙂

​@@Granite-City-RCI'm with you. TikTok was created to destroy the American youth's attention span.

Glad it worked. Many thanks indeed for watching and your feedback. Much appreciated 😁👍

Ah that's good to hear. Thank you for your kind feedback. Much appreciated 😁👍

Hi there. I think if it's doing it all the time in reverse then it wouldn't hurt to do it up a little so it's just occasional. If it isn't annoying you then you could leave it as these clutch plates don't seem to wear out very easily. Obviously tighten it if it starts making the noise when accelerating forwards. Many thanks for watching the video 😁

Hi there. I'm just using some general purpose LM2 grease. Could probably do with something thicker for the gap under the power module but that's what I'm using at the moment. Hope you are enjoying the Granite 😁👍👍

Many thanks indeed for your kind feedback 😁👍

Ah that's good info about the factory setting on the 4s. It did seem to be loosened more turns when I first got it. I haven't had to use lock tight except on the v2 Granite which didn't have the plastic sleeve bit. The v3 3s line and the v2 4s line seem fine so far. Many thanks indeed for your great feedback 😁👍

So if you had a plastic spur gear that must be the Mega version rather than the 3s right? I haven't worked on a Mega but have you tried taking the whole clutch out and testing it manually? I show how to do this with the 3s trucks here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VIZjLzv3jZ4.html

If there is a clicking noise have you checked the ring gears on the differential? I can only suggest that a gear is stripped somewhere in the system. Hope you find it. Many thanks for your comments 👍👍

@@PeteWylieRC thanks for the help!

@@PeteWylieRC thank you so much for the help,😄I will reply if I have any further issues.

Yeah that's a good point. Thanks for your great feedback 😁👍

Haha, many thanks for your great comment 😁👍

Have you already tried tightening the slipper? Maybe tighten it all the way just as an experiment and if it solves it then loosen it till it only does it sometimes. Other than that you need to take it to bits and see if you can work out what's wrong. My other video on this subject goes into taking it apart. Hope you get it sorted 👍

Hi there. No it shouldn't loosen that quickly and once set it should go for weeks. There is a plastic bit at the back of the clutch assembly that should stop the screw shaking loose. If you look at the other video I did about the clutch I think I show the bits all taken apart. Thanks for watching 😁👍

@@PeteWylieRC Thanks! I'll check it out!

Hi there, sorry for late reply. I think that you answered this while watching the other video. The little plastic wing nut is supposed to stop the main screw from shaking loose. It wasn't in the version 2 3s cars so it won't fit in there if that's what you have :-)

Yeah that's right 👍 I've got a v2.5 Mojave so might do a video about the centre diff. Many thanks for watching 😁👍

@@PeteWylieRC THANKS! Sub! 😁

What I would do is to take the power module out and see how it runs when not attached to the rest of the drivetrain. Also while it is out, check that all the wheels spin freely. The last time I had something like that it was a seized bearing. Good luck.

also, is the mesh ok? There should be a little bit of play between the pinion and spur 👍

@@PeteWylieRC I loosened the mesh just a tad bit more and it worked! thanks

Now I'm up for either a spur a pinion a slipper... Gearbox or another gear box ... I wasn't sure couldn't find stock half the year and happened across all that minus one full diff.. I did get a maintenance kit so it will have to do..but yeah basically re doing all that today... Wooohooo 😅

Hey have fun sorting out your car. Thanks for your great comments and watching the video. Much appreciated 😁👍

@@PeteWylieRC no worries thanks for sharing mate always appreciated I just wish I had people to drive with haha... Cheers for that mate.. oOOOHHHH can't believe I didn't start with this.. I sorted it over the long weekend.. had to adjust slipper replace pinion.. of course no one had any... Went to LHS and by fluke he had a 16t 32p 5mm pinion hardened .. so I was super stoked as they don't even stock anything I own.. and on getting into my car I picked up the transfer case and the bearing disintegrated so I walked back in laughing.. "I told you.. in that small period of going to my car I broke something else" the guy was having a good laugh with me at this point... And by miracle he had those bearings too and good ones with crimped casings!!! It fuuaaarrkking hammers now 😆😁🤟🤟

@@barrygauci9933 Oh yeah the stock bearings aren't always the best. Good idea to have a few spares. Glad you got it all sorted and happy blasting 😁👍👍

Hi there. Sorry I don't quite understand what you are asking about?

5:15 , that’s what I’m talking about .

@@Cameraman00001 oh that bit. Well my 3s cars didn't come with that part. I guess it's just a little upgrade they put on the 4s cars? I've not had any problems with the 3s cars not having it. Many thanks for your question 👍

Ok thanks because I lost mine.

It's basically the sound of the gears and the fact that the magnets in the motor make it more lumpy. Not sure if that's a good description but they all do it. It's only a problem if it feels difficult to turn the wheels 👍

Cool thanks for the reply! This is my first hobby grade electric RC car so I'm still trying to figure out what normal is. @@PeteWylieRC

@@duncanbradley8932 Oh cool. These are good trucks. I've done a few videos about them. Thanks for watching this 😁👍

Ok many thanks for your great feedback and thanks for watching 😁👍
