Keeps breaking clutch pads

[tert]

Why do I keep braking my slipper clutch pads on my Savage? I have torn two HPI 72131 within two weeks.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I'm guessing you have the slipper too loose. It should be tightened all the way down.

Will a loose slipper also cause the clutch pads to melt?

Yup, causes lots of heat when the slipper is slipping.

As soon as the slipper slips, it glazes up and then becomes impossible to lock down. If your running plastic spurs, it will heat up so bad it melts the center out of the spur.
