Avid CPD 1/10th buggy slipper pads

Coming from Avid are the CPD Consistent Power Delivery slipper pads for many of today’s electric off-road buggies. The slipper pads are of a new material designed with the focus of providing a larger tuning window while also being able to handle higher temps. This allows for less slipper fade during a run and drivers don’t have to adjust their buggy’s slipper setting nearly as often to maintain the same track feel. The pads are available for the standard Team Associated and Yokomo slippers and also for Avid’s own Triad Evo units.

RDRP Ultra vented slipper pads

The new Ultra vented slipper pads from Revolution Design Racing Products are made of high-quality fibreglass and their updated design with a smaller inner diameter makes for more precise slipper action adjustment and exceptional durability. In addition the slipper stays more consistent over the whole run for less performance fading and more confidence in modified racing. The plates come in a set of two and they are available in three variants for standard Team Associated and Yokomo-style slippers, for the Team Associated VCS slipper clutch and also as variants for Xray and Kyosho buggies.

Bezerk RC YZ-4 SF slipper eliminator

Coming from Bezerk RC and made for the Yokomo YZ-4 SF is a slipper eliminator. The set includes parts to do away with the slipper clutch in favour of a fixed, simpler driveline which makes for a lighter drivetrain for stock racing classes. The design allows to use standard “on-road” 48 pitch or 64 pitch spur gears and included in the set are the parts marked in red, a spur gear plate, a small spacer, a stepped spacer to fit just inside the bearing and a spacer to replace the spring.
