Default Help with a few things????

Wondering if someone can explain a few things to me.
First question... in the manual don't know what "Skid Angle" is and what it affects>.. if someone can clarify that for me that would be great.

Second question is about the kyosho rear suspension holders. In the picture you see that i have the aluminum "RF" and the Rear holders. (forgot to say im running midmotor) and ive seen the instruction sheet but im having a hard time understanding? Is the RF supposed to have the adjustable inserts like the rear or not? And if i have the right ones do i only adjust the rear? HELP>>>

With the Exotek diff nut, is everybody using the included 1mm black spacer?

Also, I'm running it with MIP Pucks diff hubs, does that matter?

Lastly, should it be tightened until it bottoms out? Or do you back off a certain amount after bottoming out?

Okay, so 2nd question!

Should it be bottomed out? Mine is, and it feels smooth.

Slip angle is essentially side bite. More angle, which the manual refers by running 2 deg anti squat is looser than running the .5 shim.
