Portal Axle Upgrade Kit - Everest Gen7 Slipper Clutch Install - RCU

The Redcat Portal Axle Kit includes a slipper clutch upgrade, with gearing change, intended for the Everest Gen7. Because of the additional gear reduction present in the portal axles, without a gearing change, the Everest Gen7’s top speed will be reduced by about 50%. The slipper clutch system features a lockout system, for those who decide they don’t want the possibility of their drivetrain slipping, but still want the gearing change. In our step-b-step install video of the Gen7 Portal Axle Upgrade Kit Slipper Clutch Upgrade, we'll show you how to swap out the original gear for the new components.
