Protect your XV-01 drivetrain with the Tamiya 54378 slipper

The Tamiya 54378 Slipper Clutch Set is a useful upgrade for drivers who push their XV-01 hard. It soaks up harsh torque from quick acceleration, emergency braking and hard landings, helping prevent drivetrain damage and improving traction where grip is limited.

Compatibility and tuning options

Included is a 48 pitch spur gear (77T) that mates with common 48 pitch pinions such as 54218, 54382 and 54383. The design gives you room to tune the slip amount so the truck behaves more consistently across different surfaces.

Does this kit fit stock XV-01 layouts?

Yes, it is made to work with the standard XV-01 drivetrain geometry and bolt pattern, so it integrates without major chassis changes.

How do I tune it for sandy or loose surfaces?

Soften the preload and experiment with taller pinions to allow more slip during peak torque, which reduces wheel hop on loose surfaces.

Will it affect top speed or acceleration feel?

Properly adjusted, it smooths acceleration without noticeably reducing top speed. The clutch lets the driveline slip under shock, which can make throttle response more manageable.

Any quick checks after installation?

After fitting, run the model at low speed to confirm gear mesh and slipper preload, then recheck after a short session to ensure settings stayed put.
