Improve XV-01 traction with the Tamiya 54378 kit

The Tamiya 54378 Slipper Clutch Set is aimed at hobbyists who want a cleaner way to protect the XV-01 drivetrain. It cushions force from aggressive acceleration, abrupt stops and heavy landings, helping the drivetrain cope with rough use while giving you more predictable traction on slippery surfaces.

What the kit includes

This package supplies a 48 pitch spur gear (77T) and works with standard 48 pitch pinions, including 54218, 54382 and 54383. The arrangement makes it easy to adjust the slipper response to match track grip and your driving approach.

You should see less sudden wheelspin on launch because the slipper lets some driveline slip through under high torque, smoothing out initial acceleration.
Basic RC tools are sufficient. Adjustment is done by changing the preload or swapping compatible pinions to alter the slip behaviour.
Yes, by allowing controlled slip the clutch set can reduce shock loads on gears, potentially lowering wear when tuned correctly.
