Slipper Pad Overview for TD4 Owners

The Tamiya 22045 TD4 Slipper Clutch Pads are produced in white fluorine resin to support smooth clutch engagement. Intended for TD2 and TD4 chassis, they help deliver stable traction and predictable slip characteristics.

Application and Fitment Details

These pads match the Tamiya TD4 chassis and are designed to be used with the TD4 Slipper Clutch Set (Item 22031). Timely replacement keeps the slipper behaving consistently and preserves drivetrain parts.

Keeping Pads Performing Well

Regularly inspect the pads for wear, glazing, or changes in thickness. Replacing worn pads reduces stress on gears and bearings and keeps throttle control consistent across runs.

What are the main wear indicators to watch?

Watch for shiny glazed surfaces, reduced pad thickness, or erratic clutch engagement. Any of these are signs to replace the pads.

Can I clean and reuse the pads?

Light cleaning to remove debris is fine, but once the resin shows wear or glazing it is better to replace rather than attempt to restore grip.

Do different track surfaces affect pad life?

Yes. Abrasive surfaces and dusty outdoor tracks accelerate wear. Indoor carpet typically yields longer pad life compared to rough outdoor surfaces.

Where should I source replacements?

Use official Tamiya parts or reputable hobby retailers that list part numbers. Confirm Item 22031 compatibility when fitting new pads to the TD4 Slipper Clutch Set.

Will fresh pads affect lap to lap consistency?

Yes. Fresh pads restore a consistent slip threshold which improves repeatability and makes setup adjustments easier to predict.
