I think most of the electric offroad stuff has slippers.. not sure exactly which models, but I know some do.. Someone who knowswhich ones should be along shortly to help ya out! Welcome to the forum!! (If ya want to take the long way, you can check out www.urchobby.com and click on the "products" ->"replacement parts"-> "Redcat" links, and scan through the part lists for the various trucks/buggies and see which ones list a slipper as a replacement or upgrade? But like I said, it'd be the looooooong way to find out..)

The Redcat Ground Pounder is the only one now that has a slipper. The 4wd makes it tricky to have the slipper setup. Some electrics have a 3 diff setup which will help protect the spur gear from damage. The Redcat 1/8 8E's have the 3 diff setup insted of a slipper and the spur gears hold up Great. I have even had great luck when locking the center 3rd diff and making it direct drive front to rear the spur gear still takes a ton of abuse and still does not quit. Years ago many people used the slippers not only to protect the gears on jumps but mainly to get better traction on a track, But with the fully programmable ESC's of today slippers are not needed as much, but can still be found in most 2wd's.
