Upgrade Your DB01 with the Tamiya 54018 Slipper

The Tamiya 54018 Slipper Clutch Set is tailored for the DB01 chassis to improve drivetrain resilience and deliver smoother throttle response. It reduces shock loading to internal gears, making the car easier to manage across uneven sections and dusty surfaces.

Performance Highlights

Improved Drivetrain Safety: The clutch slips under excess torque to protect gears from sudden impacts and stalls.
Fine Tuning with Springs: Adjust the coil tension to set how much slip you want for different track surfaces and motor setups.
Built for Rough Tracks: Designed to endure big hits and bumpy conditions so you spend more time driving and less time repairing.

Will this work with high torque brushless setups?

Yes, by tuning the spring tension you can set slip characteristics to protect gears when using higher torque motors, though final settings depend on your pinion and tyre choice.

How often should I inspect the slipper?

Check the slipper after heavy sessions or big crashes; clean and inspect for wear, and re-tension springs if you notice slippage or inconsistent engagement.

Is special maintenance required?

Routine cleaning and occasional lubricant application to the contact surfaces will keep the slipper functioning smoothly; replace worn pads or springs as needed.

Can I tune it for better corner exit?

Yes, a bit more slip at low revs can smooth power delivery on corner exit, helping reduce traction roll and improve consistency.
