Factory Team B74.2 Decoupled Slipper Clutch Kit

New from Factory Team for the Team Associated RC10B74.2 4WD Buggy is this Decoupled Slipper Clutch Conversion Kit which decouples the front drivetrain from the rear drivetrain when off power.  Having the front driveline spinning freely when off power, and on the brakes, greatly reduces the front tire binding and scrubbing on the track surface through a corner.  This allows for more off-power steering without affecting the on-power feel and acceleration that four-wheel drive provides.  The conversion kit comes with everything needed to run the decoupled slipper with spare parts for common wear items are available as well.
