Slipper Pegs



A cheap but effective improvement, is to use 12 slipper pegs in the spur gear instead of the stock 6 pegs. This will help lengthen the life of the slipper pegs, especially when using a strong modified motor.

Note that while these pictures are of a Stampede, the same information applies to the Nitro Stampede as well. The spur will just be in a different location.




Another solution involves the use of steel differential balls such as these Associated Differential Balls.




The differential ball will snap into place in the spur hole where the slipper pegs would normally go. They will even hold themselves in just as the pegs do on some spur gears such as this one offered by Kimbrough.




From that point install the spur and replace the slipper clutch components. Adjusting the slipper clutch may seem a little different at first because you'll feel the balls spin as you tighten the slipper down. However the procedure is still the same as when you use the pegs. For more information on how to properly set the slipper clutch, see the article on adjusting the slipper clutch.
