Key Features
- Precision Manufactured Aluminium Slipper Hubs — The slipper hubs are machined from high-grade aluminium, providing superior strength and durability compared to plastic alternatives. Aluminium construction ensures consistent performance over thousands of hours of operation whilst remaining lightweight for optimal vehicle handling.
- Durable Composite 57T 0.8 Module Spur Gear — The composite spur gear is engineered specifically for reliable power handling capability, absorbing shock loads and protecting your motor and ESC from damage during hard acceleration or impact. The 57-tooth configuration and 0.8 module pitch are optimised for balanced performance across ARRMA's range of high-performance vehicles.
- Castellated Slipper Pads for Assured Location — The castellated design of the slipper pads features grooves that lock positively into the spur gear, preventing unwanted rotation or slippage. This ensures the clutch engages consistently and reliably, delivering smooth power delivery and predictable handling characteristics.
- Stainless Steel Slipper Plate — The slipper plate is manufactured from stainless steel, which resists corrosion and wear from repeated friction cycles. Stainless steel maintains its dimensional accuracy and surface finish over an extended service life, ensuring consistent slipping characteristics and reliable performance.
- Supplied Assembled and Ready to Install — Every component arrives pre-assembled and pre-set from the factory, eliminating the need for manual adjustment or tuning. Simply install it into your vehicle and start driving—perfect for UK RC enthusiasts who want to minimise downtime and maximise driving time.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA HD 57T Slipper Set represents a significant engineering achievement in RC drivetrain design. The precision-manufactured aluminium slipper hubs provide exceptional rigidity whilst maintaining lightweight characteristics essential for optimal vehicle dynamics. The 57-tooth composite spur gear delivers a balance of acceleration and torque handling, compatible with ARRMA's range of brushless motors found in their high-performance 3S and 4S ready to run vehicles. The stainless steel slipper plate works in conjunction with the castellated slipper pads to deliver smooth, progressive clutch engagement, protecting expensive components like brushless motors and ESC units from the sudden shock loads that occur during aggressive acceleration or impact collisions. The 0.8 module pitch ensures compatibility with ARRMA's ecosystem of drivetrain components, and the assembly has been factory-tested to deliver reliable performance across all recommended ARRMA models. Whether you're running a 1/10 scale stadium truck, short-course truck, monster truck, or 1/8 scale buggy, this slipper set provides the durability and protection needed for demanding RC driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA vehicles is the HD 57T Slipper Set compatible with? — This slipper set is compatible with a comprehensive range of ARRMA ready to run vehicles, including the 1/10 BIG ROCK 3S 4X4 RTR Brushless Monster Truck, 1/10 GRANITE 3S 4X4 RTR Brushless Monster Truck, 1/10 KRATON 4S 4X4 RTR Brushless Speed Truck, 1/10 OUTCAST 4S 4X4 RTR Brushless Stunt Truck, 1/10 SENTON 3S 4X4 RTR Brushless Short Course Truck, and 1/8 TYPHON 3S 4X4 RTR Brushless Buggy. Check the full compatibility list to confirm your specific model.
- Is this slipper set suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The HD 57T Slipper Set is ideal for beginners because it arrives fully assembled and ready to install—no tuning or adjustment required. Simply remove your old clutch and install the new one. The pre-set configuration from the factory takes the guesswork out of drivetrain setup, allowing you to focus on driving rather than technical adjustments.
- What is a slipper clutch and why do I need one? — A slipper clutch is a transmission component that protects your RC car's drivetrain from damage during hard acceleration or impact. When the wheels lose traction or hit an obstacle, the clutch slips rather than transmitting the full shock load to the motor and ESC. This prevents broken gears, burnt-out motors, and damaged electronics, extending the life of your RC vehicle significantly.
- Do I need any special tools to install this slipper set? — The HD 57T Slipper Set is designed for straightforward installation into compatible ARRMA vehicles. No complex tuning or specialist tools are required—it arrives fully assembled and pre-set. Installation is a simple bolt-on replacement, making it accessible to RC enthusiasts of all skill levels.
- What materials are used in the HD 57T Slipper Set? — The slipper set features precision-manufactured aluminium slipper hubs for strength and durability, a composite 57T 0.8 module spur gear for reliable power handling, castellated slipper pads for positive engagement, and a stainless steel slipper plate that resists corrosion and wear. These premium materials ensure exceptional longevity and consistent performance.
- Will this improve my RC car's performance? — The HD 57T Slipper Set is primarily a protective component rather than a performance upgrade. By preventing drivetrain damage during hard driving and impacts, it allows you to drive more aggressively without fear of breaking components. This translates to more enjoyable driving and reduced maintenance costs, as fewer parts will require replacement.
