<P><SPAN class=font-med>btw, which shop in KWS has its lowest price? $168...??</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=font-med>Million thanks!!! </P></SPAN>
A slipper clutch is for when you landing from a jump, the sudden change of speed would not strip so easy... it has 2 pieces of cardboard that pressed against the main gear to allow the gear get a little bit slip when landing...
$168 is a pretty decent price la....
it act like a torque limiter. if the torque it handle excess certain limit( variable by tightening the nuts|) it will slip and let two disc spin like the clutch.
但係我覺得你如果吾係下下都full住雞落地係吾洗既.....除非你跑更比賽爭分奪秒啦,,,,,(i usually release the throttle after lift off form jumping platform and full throttle again when landed)
No la. You need to control the posture so that it land by rear wheels first or front wheels first while it is in air by increasing throttle or braking.
