Key Features
- Precision Manufactured Aluminium Slipper Hubs — The slipper hubs are machined from high-grade aluminium using precision manufacturing techniques, ensuring perfect tolerances and reliable engagement with your vehicle's drivetrain. Aluminium construction provides the ideal balance of strength and light weight, reducing unnecessary mass in your transmission whilst maintaining the rigidity needed for consistent power delivery under demanding driving conditions.
- Durable Composite 57T 0.8 Module Spur Gear — The spur gear is manufactured from advanced composite material specifically engineered for reliable power handling capability. The 57-tooth specification and 0.8 module sizing ensure optimal gear mesh and acceleration characteristics, whilst the composite construction absorbs vibration and shock loads, protecting your drivetrain and extending component lifespan during aggressive driving.
- Castellated Slipper Pads for Assured Location — The castellated design of the slipper pads features precise notches that lock positively into corresponding grooves on the spur gear, preventing pad slippage or misalignment during operation. This engineered feature ensures that your slipper clutch maintains consistent slip characteristics throughout extended driving sessions, eliminating unpredictable drivetrain behaviour and delivering the controlled power delivery you need for precise throttle control.
- Stainless Steel Slipper Plate — The slipper plate is manufactured from premium stainless steel rather than standard mild steel, providing superior corrosion resistance and durability. This material choice is particularly important for UK drivers who frequently encounter wet conditions and muddy terrain, as stainless steel resists rust and oxidation far better than conventional materials, maintaining smooth operation and extending service intervals.
- Molded Composite Lock Nut for Consistent Setting — A specially designed composite lock nut holds the slipper adjustment screw in its precise position, preventing accidental loosening or drift during use. This engineered retention system ensures your slipper setting remains consistent across multiple driving sessions, eliminating the frustration of having to constantly re-adjust your clutch settings and allowing you to focus on driving rather than maintenance.
- Fully Assembled and Pre-Set — Unlike transmission kits requiring assembly and calibration, this slipper set arrives completely assembled and factory-set, ready for immediate installation into your vehicle. This saves hours of technical work and the potential for assembly errors, making it perfect for drivers who want professional-quality performance without the technical complexity of custom transmission tuning.
Technical Performance
The HD 57T Slipper Set represents the culmination of ARRMA's extensive engineering expertise in transmission design. The 0.8 module specification represents a precise gear sizing standard that ensures perfect mesh compatibility with ARRMA's driveline components, guaranteeing smooth power delivery and minimal mechanical losses. The precision-manufactured aluminium hubs are produced to exacting tolerances that eliminate play and wobble, critical factors in maintaining consistent performance across the wide range of driving conditions you'll encounter on UK terrain, from smooth tarmac to loose gravel and mud. The composite spur gear construction is particularly significant, as composite materials offer superior vibration damping compared to traditional metal gears, reducing noise and stress on connected components whilst improving the overall driving experience. The stainless steel slipper plate ensures long-term durability and corrosion resistance, which is essential in the UK's frequently damp climate where moisture and salt can compromise standard mild steel components. The castellated pad design represents years of refinement in slipper clutch technology, ensuring that slip characteristics remain consistent and predictable whether you're power-sliding through berms in a stadium truck configuration or climbing vertical obstacles in a rock-crawling buggy. Quality assurance at the manufacturing level means every component has been checked and verified before assembly, ensuring that the mechanical tolerances necessary for consistent performance have been maintained throughout production. This level of engineering excellence ensures that the slipper set will deliver reliable performance whether installed in a 1/10 scale brushless monster truck, a short course truck, a stadium truck or a buggy configuration.

Refer to your vehicle's manual for detailed installation instructions.
- What does the slipper clutch do? — The slipper clutch is a critical drivetrain component that allows the motor to continue spinning even when the wheels are locked or heavily loaded, preventing motor burnout and drivetrain damage during high-load situations. This is particularly important when climbing steep inclines, power-sliding through tight corners, or when a wheel becomes wedged during off-road driving. The slipper clutch protects your motor and ESC by slipping under excessive load, making it an essential safety feature for any serious RC vehicle.
- Why is the 0.8 module specification important? — The 0.8 module designation refers to the precise size and pitch of the gear teeth. This specification ensures perfect compatibility with your ARRMA vehicle's drivetrain, guaranteeing optimal gear mesh, smooth power delivery, and minimal mechanical losses. Using the correct module specification is critical for reliable performance and durability.
- How often will I need to replace this slipper set? — With proper maintenance and typical use, a quality slipper set should provide thousands of miles of reliable service. However, frequency of replacement depends on driving style, terrain conditions, and maintenance practices. Regular inspection of slipper pads and adjustment of slipper tension according to your vehicle manual will extend component life significantly.
