Does anybody know if they make a limited slip for this car? Something so you dont strip out the gears?

Not that i know of. Im sure you can find a Esc out there with limited slip though.

A slipper clutch is something I don't think has ever been available for this model. If you are eating gears then there are a few possible causes. I would check your pinion as these are aluminium as standard and can wear. If the teeth finish in a point instead of a rounded end then you will eat the spur gear. If this is the case, buy a steel pinion which will not wear and then damage the spur. The gear cover on the rear transmission is worth checking as the screw holes could have stripped over time. If you find this, the case is still available so can be replaced. The other option is to drop some superglue in the holes and refit the screw. Once it has dried, you should be able to tighten the screw again. The final cause could be due to your or a previous owner's driving style. If you leave the throttle on when jumping, landing with it open, you can easily lunch your spur gear. Going directly from forwards to reverse or reverse to forwards while still moving can have the same effect.

Nope,

Haven't striped it. I thought they might have made something. Am getting ready to race it in 1 week. I need to buy some type of mod motor for it, not sure what to get? I just order the Ford F-150 Bumper. What about shocks?

if this is the same S10 that was based on the TA02, then I remember seeing an aftermarket slipper clutch for it by Kose or someone else some 8 years ago..basically they cut the spur away from the idler and fitted a spring over the conical side of the spur... forgot if it's adjustable or not, doesn't seem like it...but one of my friends who got it said it did work on his FF01.
