Improve DB01 Reliability with Tamiya 54018

The Tamiya 54018 Slipper Clutch Set is made to enhance the DB01 chassis by reducing shock loads to the transmission and delivering more controllable throttle response. It helps limit gear damage from abrupt impacts and keeps driveline behaviour predictable during competitive runs.

Main Features and Uses

Shock Absorption: The slipper disengages under excessive torque to shield gears from sudden force spikes and reduce repair frequency.
Adjustable Preload: Change spring preload to tune the clutch engagement and match different motor strengths and surface grip.
Track Tough Design: Constructed to tolerate the demands of rough racing tracks and repeated jump landings.

Is the Tamiya 54018 easy to fit to a stock DB01?

Yes, it installs into the standard DB01 transmission with common hand tools, but follow the fitting notes and check alignment during assembly.

Will it help with gear lash on big jumps?

The slipper reduces the transfer of shock to gears, which can lessen the chance of chipped or stripped teeth after heavy jumps.

What regular checks should I do?

Inspect springs and contact surfaces after demanding sessions, keep the area free from grit, and replace worn components to maintain consistent slip behaviour.

Can I alter slip for different tyres?

Yes, adjust the spring setting to balance slip with tyre grip; softer for slick or loose tyres, firmer for grippy compounds to retain sharper throttle response.
