Ive tighten the bolt all the down and the clutch still slips. Is it time for a new clutch disk?

Are you sure it's the clutch and not the ball diff?

I did replace the spur gear with one you would insert metal balls into it, but no metal balls installed. Guess I should try a solid spur gear?

Uhh... what transmission is this?

changed the pad, its not that....

Try to tighten your diff.

So it's a Stealth and not a six-gear? It shouldn't matter what spur you used as long as it has the proper two inner holes for the mounting screws. Or the screws are too long aren't letting the pad do its job. But you would see/hear that because the screws would be gouging the inner slipper plate.

Unless the slipper pad and plates aren't assembled correctly, I'd say it's the diff that's slipping.

so open it up and repleace the diff?

Replace the diff? Why? No. Maybe clean it and reassemble it exactly per the instructions just for maintenance, but you should still figure out what exactly is slipping first.

Your right... i have couple stealth buggys i run with BL set up and never seen this problem. I placed a new pad, tighten down the clutch and still hear the whinning noise. It moves but just the clutch slips to much... Thanks for your help.

if i hold both tires down, i can still turn the spur gear.

Did you try to tighten the diff yet?

tighten it the way down and did a test run... it runs ok/pretty good. so im going to leave it as is....going to take off easy then accelerate easy...

When you hold both tires and try to turn the spur, the slipper nut should NEVER turn. If it turns you have the diff loose or at least looser than the slipper.
