Without the slipper clutch to regulate power to the drivetrain and wheels, the RC wheels may spin too fast and lose traction. This may occur during braking, when landing a jump, or when driving on loose surfaces such as loose dirt or gravel or on wet, slippery surfaces.
The slipper clutch consists of metal plates and a fiber or rubber pad and is typically integrated with the spur gear and can be found on electric and nitro RC vehicles.
