Avid Triad slipper clutch
Avid have released their new Triad slipper clutch, a compact 3 plate clutch that provides smoother throttle response, more torque capacity and lighter weight than current 2 plate slipper clutches. This project has been in development for 7 months and we are very pleased with the final result. At this weeks ROAR Super Nationals, the Triad slipper clutch won 2 titles in 17.5 Racing Truck and 17.5 4wd Buggy at the hands of Nolan Anderson and Zack Genova as well as competed in the Modified A-Mains with Ty Tessman and Jesse Robbers.

I always thought that all parts run in the stock class at the nationals had to be commercially available 2 weeks prior to the event?

Good example of how ROAR does not follow its own rules.

That rule was never for accessories. It was for tires, chassis, motors, batteries, and so forth and even those aren’t followed closely anymore. There is no ROAR approval system for things like spur gears, hex adapters, and so forth. Even with that said the slippers were available for sale in the shop at this event so anyone that wanted one could get one.
