Ian w Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Does the slipper plate have pegs for the disk to line up then? My slipper disk is off centred like its just hanging then clamped. Edit. Nitro anwserd that. Thanks ill also check mine. Ps. Did anyone link to the correct clutch bell bearings I could use two aswel. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-Clutch-Bell-bearings-5x10x4mm-HPI-Savage-Hyper-7-8-9-/250578418129?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item3a57a339d1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambecky1989 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 I got a drawer full of the motor plates, and may well have a brace....I'll have a look. Clutch bell looked OK, and as long as the tetth are not damaged, it will be fine. Just replace the bearings once you check the teeth. They looked OK in the pics...but it's easier to tell in the flesh. The back plate for the slipper clutch has 2 pins that go into the steel disc. They shouldn't stick out firther than the front face of the metal disc. They locate it on the backplate. The backplate is keyed to the gearbox input shaft. So....the motor drives the spur gear. The spur gear will drive the metal disc as long as there is enough friction. The metal disc then turns the backplate via the 2 pins, and that drives the gearbox. The amount of friction is controlled by the spring and nut. The tighter that is...the more friction you get. The idea is that shock loads will cause the assembly to slip, preventing damage to the drivetrain Cheers mate explains it all and easy to understand!! Thank you Clutch bell looks fine no damaged teeth at all as for the clutch shoes someone said they looked the wrong way round but the truck was running fine till bearings went??

Sambecky1989 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 No I don`t think it is. look at the video I posted and you will see which way he is putting the shoes on Saw video so basically have to go the opposite way to what they are now How come the truck was still running with them the wrong way???

jordan_bench10 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 This is my clutch shoe set up is this correct??? they need spinning around pal Saw video so basically have to go the opposite way to what they are now How come the truck was still running with them the wrong way???
