DB02 Slipper Clutch Upgrade Using the Tamiya 54336 Set

The Tamiya 54336 Slipper Clutch Set offers DB02 owners a practical way to reduce drivetrain shock from aggressive acceleration, sudden braking and firm landings. It helps protect gears and driveshafts during heavy use.

What the Set Includes and Installation Notes

The package includes pressure plates, a slipper shaft, spacers, washers and a spring, engineered to suit DB02 mounting points. Installation is intended to be straightforward for hobbyists familiar with routine chassis work.

Advantages of Adding a Slipper to a Buggy

Installing a slipper clutch lowers the risk of drivetrain damage by allowing controlled slip under peak loads, which improves component life and vehicle control on demanding courses.

Can I replace worn parts from this set individually?

Yes, many items such as plates and washers are replaceable. Keep spares for friction parts as part of regular upkeep to avoid downtime.

Will the slipper affect handling on smooth tracks?

On smooth surfaces the slipper can slightly soften initial drive feel, but careful adjustment returns predictable throttle response while still protecting the drivetrain.

Do I need to change my gear mesh after fitting this unit?

After installation, check gear mesh as part of the reassembly process. Correct mesh prevents premature wear and ensures smooth power transfer.

Any tips for first time installers?

Follow the DB02 service guide, keep parts clean during assembly and test the slipper settings on short runs before pushing hard to fine tune performance.
