Slippers wont fit stock shaft.

Heres a link to a DF03 slipper kit.

Im not 100% sure on if a B4 spur and pads will fit but worth a try, I have seen a ZX-5 spur and pads used on the df03 and I use a B4 spur and pads on my ZX-5. The B4 spur has a fraction bigger shaft hole but shouldnt be a problem.

Hope this helps

I have the Tamiya slipper and use B4 spur and b4 pads (since I already had some) - much much better than using the .5 module spurs with 48 dp pinions. the sound was horrific.

The hole in the b4 spur just needs reaming out slightly - very gently, since it needs to be centred properly.. it took me a matter of seconds.
The mamba max will kill the rear diff in one lap if you don't put a slipper on there, thats what I found. Even with a slipper the diff slips now since it needs new plates and balls

plus proper diff outdrives, that holds the plates more stable so wont stuff the plates or balls up in the look of an eye.

I managed to get Tamiya front diff outdrives which slapped right inplace, so am happy, think I might get some CVDs on the rear too.

I checked for noise in the drivetrain of my DI last night and OH MY GOD, it IS the pinion and spur isn't it. It sounded awful.

Elliott.

p.s. I ran my Tamiya Egress at the CML Raceway on Sunday (in the breaks). Good god is this a good car. My car glided, floated, cornered beautifully and landed from jumps like it was landing on a matress. It was so smooth.

you need the tamiya one since you are only changing the spur and slipper pads. You are still using the main shaft, spring, tophat washer and nut. You can fit the b4 81t spur on BUT you need to dremel out the gear cover a little (because the 81t B4 spur is larger than the 82t tamiya spur) but the 78t b4 should fit in there fine.

'owdo,

still banging on about the DI.

Does anyone have a 48dp gear chart for it. There is one about, but I just need it sticking in front of my face.

Ta.

Elliott.
