Robinson Racing Gen3 Slipper Kit for Traxxas Slash 4x4 (54T)
About this part
This is an optional Robinson Racing Gen3 Slipper Kit, and is intended for use with the Traxxas Slash 4x4. Robinson Racing GEN3 Slipper Units are over-engineered to meet the punishing demands of the most powerful brushless motor systems! The new GEN3 Slipper Unit is a captured design to prevent slipper pad blowout and deliver maximum power to the ground. The hi-performance hardened steel spur gear will not fail or strip. Strong and tough 0.8 module/32-pitch teeth handle all the power you can pour on the spur gear. Aircraft grade billet aluminum backplate will not bend or break. Increased surface area of the oversized pad insures dependable performance. Less total parts reduces flex and wobble in the spur gear and slipper unit.
NOTE: It is recommended that you combine this spur gear with a Robinson Racing .8 Mod hardened steel pinion gear for optimum durability.
Includes:
- (1) Spur Gear
- (1) Slipper plate
- (1) Brass bushing
- (1) Center bearing

I don't know how you can't rate this as a good product when it doesn't fit? Just as the first reviewer indicates, it cogs horribly straight out of the package and is basically unusable. Sure you can fix it, but its a $50 item, which to means it should work without having to spend an hour trying to get it right. I ended up just sending it back. I would rather replace plastic spurs then support a company that charges that kind of money for a poor product.
Awesome. Just Plain Awesome Runs quiet. I was having big issues with heat transfering to my plastic slipper and then it just melts. This thing has handled Long grass on 3 s with big tires. Such a good Buy.
best seen yet just had to check your install, awesome power, cogs fine, metal to metal,3 run retighten and been fine for years.never had to replace the stone ether.finally gave to my son for supper pounding.
This clutch was great, at first. I ran it in a king headz mount. I had to change the rear bulkhead and after that it rubbed bad. I wouldn't waste money on it. Get a Revo setup.
As others have noted, the spur cogs horribly. I thought the added noise was just part of a switch from plastic to metal (it *did* run quieter in reverse, however), but after about two hours of runtime, the vibration destroyed both the center bearing AND a bearing in my Velineon 3500, which in turn seized at 40mph and ground to a halt. The spur gear still looks brand new, however!
Reviewers are split on this slipper kit. Several praise its durability, quiet running and resistance to heat and wear, with some reporting years of use and no need to replace the slipper. Multiple reviewers report that the spur cogs badly out of the box and needs careful polishing of the bushing and slipper plate, roughly an hour of fitting, before running smoothly. One reviewer reported that poor fitting caused bearing damage in a motor. Another reported the slipper pad sticking to the gear and locking the clutch after about a year. A reviewer using a different mount reported rubbing after changing the bulkhead. One reviewer advises using a Robinson Racing pinion because the hard steel gear wears out the stock Traxxas pinion.
