Status: offline 		and if so, how did you fix it?

I was at a full scale Monster Truck show with my RC club doing a demo (awesome fun in front of 7000 people), and my LST2 seemed as though the slipper clutch was slipping too much. Once the truck was warm, it had no problem, but intitially it would just rev, then as the revs came down, it would gain drive. I have replace the standard thrust bearing with a metal bearing, and the nut is about half a turn out from tight. Do my slipper plates need some type of maintenance? I haven't been able to strip the 2 speed since, as I left home on a work trip for the week, and am posting this from my hotel room.

Thanks guys

Status: offline 		Actually it sounds like a OWB problem. Your problem sounds exactly like my LST2 when it was new and started doing that. I put a brand new slipper on it and it turned out to be a slipping OWB. Give your OWB a good soakinbg with WD-40 or actual bearing oil.

And Adjust the EPA for the reverse Servo......(It could be letting it slip inbetween Gears)

Turn the Radio on, then press the Scroll button till you See EPA Then Press channel till you see AUX then turn it up (Increase) the EPA till the Servos moving far enough to Hold it in Gear.....

Yeah the crowd loved it, generated lots of interest in the club, sold heaps of raffle tickets, all went well. I know where your talking about, I'm from Adelaide originally. May move back there one day. Hard to leave paradise though (Cairns Qld)
