Slipper Clutch

What is a Slipper Clutch?

The Slipper Clutch is another tuning tool used only in off road. It is illegal to race with a Slipper Clutch in on road.

Basically, the Slipper Clutch allows you to run the diff a bit tighter. It helps with acceleration on slippery tracks and bumpy sections. In stock, you can set the Slipper Clutch quite tight. In modified, however, the Slipper should be set loose.

How do you change the Slipper Clutch Adjustment?

The best way to set the Slipper Clutch is to have your car ready to run. Turn it on (and the radio), and face it away from you. Now, place both forearms on both rear tires, pressing down firmly. With the radio in one hand, give the car some throttle. One of two things will happen; either the car will make a slipping sound or the front wheels will lift off the table. The best setting is to have the front end to lift, but not quite off the table. This is the best starting point for the Slipper Clutch.
