Double Slipper - Anyone Tried It?

[DaveG28]

As per the title, has anyone actually tried this and if so how did they find it?

it is better than the stock one, whether it works as it suppose to, I don't know, as if I run it loose enough to allow the rear to slip a little when landing from a jump, it slips a lot off the line, although it does work better than the original one.

I thought you had one but sold it Dave?

It sounds like something I'd like to try as I usually like my slipper to slip. I didn't get much time to practice / setup yesterday and my car was unusually wheelying after landing off jumps - I much prefer a soft feel / some slip all the time.

Ha ha Yeah I had it but sold it without ever using it when going through a "can't be arsed trying things" phase, but now I'm curious again!!!

Wouldn't mind making the rear slip a little more than the front for on power balance purposes, but it's expensive so don't want to waste my money!

yeah, I don't think I can justify it as I'm not planning on running the car much anyway - but it's interesting.

Can you set the front and rear slip independently or is it set on one spring?

In what way does it work better, just easier to get the tight overall slip?

If I get one you'd be welcome to try it and set it up (with an associated spur if thats ok?) to include in the review then give it back after? Would help me too as I'm crap at setting them!

it has a better spring, so has a more progressive afjustment, not, slip.. tighten, still slipping, tighten a tiny more... locked, grrrrr....

If it's just the spring the 511 uses the same one, can post the part number later (or even all part numbers as I keep promising!!)

Which slips more, front or rear?

It is set with one spring, but you can use different pads for front and rear to adjust the slip. (like the kyosho lazer fs)
