Big T Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 This happened to me. Your spur gear was too loose on the slipper clutch, the slipper has slipped so much that the spur gear has heated and melted. I actually melted the slipper plate into my spur gear. Just have it a bit tighter next time. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam C Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Definatley not on wrong way then? I had it quater of a turn loose aswell like it says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big T Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 The slipper clutch sticks to the side that is shaped to fit it, and that goes against the metal slipper plate. The nut shouldn't come loose but it might have. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 set the spur 1 full turn out from fully tightend and see how it goes, if its a bit loose then tighten another 1/4 of a turn, most savvys like half a turn out from fully tighend mine like 1 full turn out either way 1 full turn from fully closed is the slackest it should be.

Sam C Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 It moulds out a bit one side of the slipper plate? Should that be toward the spur gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam C Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 I only had it half a turn mad hatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big T Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Not really sure mate. I've got my melted one here in front of me and I can't see any difference between sides. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 It moulds out a bit one side of the slipper plate? Should that be toward the spur gear? ← it mold out on both sides? on mine one side was metal that was facin towards the gear box, if you had the other side (plastic) facin the gear box then yeh it would melt lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big T Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 It moulds out a bit one side of the slipper plate? Should that be toward the spur gear? ← Which bit exactly are you talking about. Spur gear, slipper clutch or slipper plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I think he means the spur itself theres a plactic molded rounded part on one side it should face outwards, I'd imagine if he put it on backward the molded part would melt with the friction? thinks thats his answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big T Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 If that was the wrong way round then the gears wouldn't mesh. The reason I asked which part it was is because you said about one side being metal and the other side being plastic. The spur gear I have here is totally plastic and the only reason the slipper plate has plastic on it is because it melted on. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 god knows, mine had metal on the one side, both sides looked exactly the same but one was metal and one was plastic, if you put the plastic facing inwards it would melt but still mesh because both sides are exactly the same jus a different material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam C Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 The metal slipper plate was like a smooth metal on one sie and a rough metal on the other when i took it off first time and i put smooth part to spur gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam C Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Would have cost me less but modelsport sent me wrong spur gear sent me ones for mt2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big T Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 The metal slipper plate was like a smooth metal on one sie and a rough metal on the other when i took it off first time and i put smooth part to spur gear ← I just tried scraping the melted plastic off mine and both side seem to be pretty smooth. I would have thought the smooth side would go against the slipper pad or it would grip too much. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 (edited) ahh, mine had the smooth part on the outside of the spur facin the gearbox I think. maybe thats whats wrong...dunno Edited August 22, 2005 by Mad Hatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam C Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Its smooth its just like a sharp coner on one side and a smooth corner on other if u know what i mean Ive just ordered 2 of modelsport checked part numbers firs tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big T Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Its smooth its just like a sharp coner on one side and a smooth corner on other if u know what i mean Ive just ordered 2 of modelsport checked part numbers firs tho ← Ahhh now I see what your saying. The melted one I have here was the same, smooth side to spur gear. When I got a new one I never looked at it, I just chucked it on. I can't see it making any difference though, it's such a slight difference. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
