Slipper Clutch vs. Differential Barking

- This is a demostration of the two sounds made from proper, and improper adjustment of a Slipper Clutch and Differential. The results will causing a slipper "squeal", or a differential "bark".

Very helpful. Setting this diff and slipper has been killing me. :-P
Just bought a ta sc5m and I thought I ruined it but now I know the ball diff is just a tad loose. Thanks dude, very helpful
Before slipper/torque clutches were common we used to set the diffs to give some slip. Yes, we used to rebuild differentials fairly frequently.
I remember those days, too!
Thank you
Well I snug up the ball diff and now just get the slipper squeal.so it's much better.
Awesome info.i just built the sc10 team kit and I am getting the rough sound.should i tighten the ball diff?
draggo draggon probably so, if it makes the sound under power. But, it shouldn’t be limited to only corners.
I built a b6 and can't figure out how to get it dialed in either it won't move or it won't pull the tires takes off slow 17.5 spec reedyblackbox b6d
Ian LaRue not sure exactly what you’re describing, without “periods” in your sentence. If the car doesn’t move and your motor is spinning, then the slipper is way too loose and, of course, the front end will never lift up in my test example. Even if the slipper is tightened ALL the way, the motor will transfer power to the wheels and the car should ALWAYS move. In this case, the front end will lift up all the way and even flip over backwards.
Hope that helps.
Thank you very much!!
You're welcome; glad it is still helpful after all these years!
Well, I'm getting started on the RC cuz I've finally gotten my first car! You've stated here the exact info I was looking for, Steve! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤜🏻🤛🏼
How tight should you crank your diff down? Slipper spring seems so tight how tight should that be I never had problems like that in the past
Ian LaRue each model, and each driver/mechanic, is a bit different. But most will tighten the diff nut all the way down, then back it off 1/16 of a turn as a starting point.
Aw man, I need a method for 2wd. I have a 2wd amp, and I’m confused on how to set the slipper clutch, or how to tell it is good
Br1aNn8 this video applies to your 2WD!
Steve Vance oh, okay! I tightened my clutch all the way but the wheels still did not go up..
Br1aNn8 providing you have enough power, then the front end will lift if there’s no slippage.
From what I can gather, if you tighten the clutch all the way and wheels wont go up. It is slipping on your ball differential (barking) and you need to tighten those and loosen your slipper. (I'm in no way an expert, I just recently acquired my first car with a slipper)
So many people do this!! So stupid!!!!
My b6.1d is squealing in corners. Is that a symptom of a lose ball diff?
Without seeing and hearing, it's hard to tell. Corners shouldn't make that much difference unless you're talking about the inside wheel slipping; and that's what the diff is supposed to do. If it's under hard throttle, however, then it could be either your diff or your slipper that's too loose.
Thanks to the help of a few locals. I have come to realize that it lt is from my tires gripping. .
Ah. Ok. Yeah. Different sound for sure.
So I’m not barking my diff but my tires don’t pull off the ground - do I need to tighten my ball diff? What about when my tires won’t pop up with a gear diff?
Sounds like your Slipper Clutch needs tightening. It won’t squeal when it slips like the ball diff does. However, if the diff is super loose, it won’t squeal either. You’ll be able to see the main clutch gear turn or not; that will clue you in as to which is slipping.
Steve Vance afraid to overtighten the diff - do you believe in tightening it all the way and then backing off ?
OhCanada RC you can’t really over tighten the slipper. There ARE those racers who keep it clamped down all the way. But...that’s harder on the motor/drivetrain.
If you clamp it down and you still have slipping, then your diff is way too loose. Of course, this is assuming your motor isn’t shot. ;-)
Steve Vance thanks motor is brand new - I’ll clamp down on the diff and back off and see if it makes a difference
@@OHCanadaRC NO NO...do NOT overitghten the DIFF! That's how you can damage (pit) the slip ring!! When I said "clamp down", that's referring to the SLIPPER clutch, which will NOT be harmed by tightening.
