This is a pair of slipper pads supplied as D-MAX standard parts for RC use, sold as 2 pcs. They are manufactured to replace the original pads in the slipper clutch assembly on compatible D-Max kits and provide the friction interface that determines engagement and slip characteristics.
Note that each pad offers two different faces; correct orientation is essential. Fit the face that mates to the slipper hub and the face that contacts the clutch shoe according to your chassis arrangement to maintain expected slip feel and to avoid premature wear.
Installation steps: remove the slipper assembly, inspect the clutch shoes and hub for wear, install the two pads in the same orientation as removed, then reassemble and set initial preload. Test progressively and adjust slipper tension while running to refine launch and traction behavior.
How these affect setup: swapping or reorienting pads is a low-impact way to modify initial bite and slip progression without changing springs or core components, making them ideal for small tuning steps during practice sessions.
