Tamiya BB-01 Slipper Clutch Set 22071
Tamiya BB-01 Slipper Clutch Set 22071
Slipper clutches are an essential tuning part in off-road 2WD vehicles. They help protect the drivetrain from sudden surges and help tune the vehicle on slippery surfaces. This slipper clutch is specific to the BB-01 off-road chassis.
This option is necessary if you plan to put in a high-power motor. It’s also a must if you plan to drive the BBX on loose to loamy dirt with a motor with high power. So, what is a slipper clutch and how does it work? The slipper clutch is a device that’s installed into the existing drivetrain as it replaces the standard top shaft and gear. The set includes friction pads that sandwich the main spur gear. The friction pads “friction” can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the included spring tensioner. Once adjusted correctly the slipper can help protect the drivetrain from sudden surges, typically when landing jumps, and help tune the vehicle on slippery surfaces. When the slipper is adjusted correctly, your BBX will accelerate quickly. If set too loose, your BBX drivetrain will slip for a second or two before the friction pads engage to propel your vehicle forward. It’s a great tuning feature that will help get the most out of your BBX.
