Savage Flux slipper clutch nut coming loose

[Ron]

I'm having trouble with my slipper clutch nut coming loose after a few minutes of run time. Before I thought it was the slipper clutch burning up so I repaved it with HPI heavy duty pad. But it seems the nut always backs it self out or off. I always replace the nut with a new one every time I take it apart. Is there a remedy?

Run that slipper tight, I have mine tightened all the way up and it stays, if I loosen the nut any at all it will keep loosening up......

Put it so tight your holding clutch bell in place with screw driver

you could also try locktite.

I run my slipper 1/2 a turn from tight. never had a problem.

If you tighten it all the way doesn't it not allow the slipper to not function the way it should? And I have tried 1/2 turn out and it does the something and I did use locktite, very frustrating !

If you were racing, then yes. But for bashing, the slipper is really only a failsafe in case the driveline locks up.

The slipper will slip at some point no matter how tight the nut is.

Like i have said, even when locked down the slipper still does function..... I beat the snot outta my savage and I am running the slipper locked down tight with zero problems with the nut backing off and causing trouble...
