Give your XV-02 better traction control with the Tamiya 22048 set

The Tamiya 22048 - XV-02 Slipper Clutch Set is a solid option for drivers looking to protect gear train components and reduce unexpected torque shocks. Tailored for the XV-02 chassis, it helps manage power delivery when grip is unpredictable.

Included components explained

Slipper Plates: Both Plate A and Plate B are included to share torque load and smooth engagement.
Slipper Shaft and Cup: These parts keep the assembly rotating freely and maintain dependable clutch action.
Slipper Spring and Nut: Fine-tuneable spring tension gives control over slipping characteristics for varied surfaces.
Spur Gear and Spacer: Maintains correct gear spacing and improves drivetrain robustness.
Ball Bearings: Two 1280 bearings to lower drag and increase component life.
Stainless Steel Shaft and Axle Ring: Durable materials to stand up to regular running and impacts.

Fitment advice and installation

Specifically produced for the XV-02 chassis, this slipper clutch set installs into the stock layout and is straightforward to set up. Basic tools are enough for most users to fit and adjust the unit for improved on-track performance.

Does the Tamiya 22048 affect gear ratios?

The kit includes a spur gear and spacer that keep the existing gear ratio intact while improving engagement and protection under load.

What tools do I need to install the clutch set?

Basic hobby tools like hex drivers, pliers and a small spanner are sufficient. No specialised workshop equipment is required for a standard installation.

Will this reduce drivetrain wear?

Yes. By absorbing sudden torque surges and smoothing engagement, the slipper clutch reduces stress on gears and shafts, which lowers wear over time.
