Concorde 94 Posted October 13, 2023 Yes, having no slipper clutch puts a lot of stress on the drivetrain when landing. The alloy motor mount and ball diffs set not too tight helps a lot though. For me the gear cover always gives out eventually with hot motors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Concorde 94 Posted October 14, 2023 I am exploring adapting the DB02 slipper clutch for the DF01/TA01/TA02. Does anyone know if the bevel will mesh with the DF01 bevel? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruebiracer 1046 Posted October 15, 2023 Space is tight in the TF gear box. I feel your DB02 slipper will not fit into the original gear box. But with a 3d printed box, it can be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Concorde 94 Posted October 15, 2023 Yes it will be with a new gearbox entirely. But I would like to retain as much of the original design and layout as possible and utilise tamiya parts. I am not familiar with more modern tamiya cars and was hoping people out there may know of compatible parts. Might be a long shot though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saito2 6686 Posted October 15, 2023 Are those DB02 gears the same as the hop-up gears used on the TD4? Tower Hobbies has a picture of those gears from above that would at allow a tooth count to be determined at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Concorde 94 Posted October 23, 2023 I decided to adapt a TD4 clutch for the first prototype. A new shaft design and revised gearbox will be needed. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about having the slipper tension spring exit the gearbox on the motor side. similarly to the design on the DB02 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
