Xray XB2 short 2-pad slipper clutch set

Coming from Xray and made for the XB2 2WD buggy is the new short 2-pad slipper clutch set. The redesigned slipper clutch allows the rear shock absorbers to be mounted in front of the rear arms. The frontward position increases stability on surfaces where the rear of the car collapses, particularly in high-speed corners. Team drivers also prefer this position on low-grip tracks. The 2-pad slipper clutch ensures super-smooth clutch operation and efficient, consistent braking. It is very easy to make ultra-fine adjustments to the slipper clutch externally. The slipper pads are made of ultra-efficient SLS material with very-high slip efficiency, thus allowing very precise adjustment. The lightweight slipper plates are machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6, additionally hardened before a final black surface treatment. The plates also have a machined relief which decreases the friction surface to assist with clutch slip adjustment. The set includes the slipper clutch assembly, 75T and 78T 48 pitch spur gears as well as a new motor plate.
