The manual says the distance between the shoulder and the spring collar should be between 5.0 - 6.3mm and I had mine at 5.2mm. I never could hear my buggy slip so what did I have to lose. Each round I loosened the slipper and each round the buggy got easier to drive. Right before the main my slipper was at 6.39 mm and I loosened it to 6.59mm. That might have been just on the loose side, but the buggy was pretty hooked up front and rear and that was on a dusty track. The only reason I thought it might have been a little loose was because I had trouble clearing this triple right after a hard 180 with no run at the jump lip.

So it seems the problem was that with each punch of the throttle, full power was going to both the front and rear of the car with most of the power going to the front yet still diffing out the rear of the car.

As you can see, my car's ideal slipper setting was outside the range specified by the manual. Could this be the reason some guys are roaching their diff gears even though they have their slipper setting within the range specified by the manual? For me anyway, the manual suggestion was too tight for my high traction track.
