Theory about the shortage of slipper clutches...

[Firedcylinder]

So I was on bigsquidrc.com reading about the new Venture FJ (http://www.bigsquidrc.com/everybodys-scalin-specifications-on-the-hpi-venture-fj/) and noticed that it appears to use the same spur/slipper/output shafts as our xs. If it is the same, that would explain why slippers are in such short supply right now.

UK seems to have plenty of those pads
HPI has some serious issues right now.
they don't seem to be making very many models to sell
AND they surely are not making any parts for the models already out there

Picked up 4 of them from my local hobby shop the other day

you lucky devil!...lol
those parts are scarce. better run back and buy up all they have then post them on epig for a tidy profit.
a couple weeks ago i had someone message me and wanted me to break up a listing for a flux xs truck so they could buy the included pads in a sepeerate listing.

didnt happen. pads are still included with the truck in that listing
