Enhance XV-02 drivability with the Tamiya 22048 slipper kit

The Tamiya 22048 - XV-02 Slipper Clutch Set is aimed at modders and racers who want a tougher driveline and more predictable handling when surface grip drops. Engineered for the XV-02 chassis, the assembly helps prevent abrupt torque transfer that can damage gears.

Main kit contents

Slipper Plates: Plate A and Plate B included to deliver controlled torque distribution and consistent slip behaviour.
Slipper Shaft and Cup: Machined components that support reliable engagement and rotation under load.
Slipper Spring and Nut: Adjustable components let you dial the amount of slip to match track conditions.
Spur Gear and Spacer: Ensures correct gear alignment and adds toughness to the drivetrain.
Ball Bearings: Two 1280 bearings decrease friction for smoother operation.
Stainless Steel Shaft and Axle Ring: Strengthened parts to increase longevity in busy running environments.

Compatibility and fitting notes

Crafted for the XV-02 platform, the slipper clutch set fits the standard layout and is straightforward to install. It is suitable for hobbyists who want to upgrade reliability and refine handling without complex modifications.

Is the Tamiya 22048 easy to tune for different tracks?

Yes. The adjustable spring and nut let you set the slip level quickly, so you can tune for loose, wet or high-traction surfaces depending on your needs.

Will fitting the slipper change how the car launches?

Fitting a slipper clutch can soften initial acceleration if set softer, helping to prevent wheelspin. Tightening the slipper increases launch aggression but also transfers more load to the drivetrain.

Should I service the bearings regularly?

Regular inspection and cleaning of the 1280 bearings is recommended. Keep them free of dirt and apply light lubrication when necessary to maintain smooth operation.
