I set mine up to be as tight as I'd need in order to wheelie from a stop, but not enough to backflip. It's pretty tight.
If your truck is jumpy at low throttle, can you turn your motor over by hand, or does it sort of magnetically click as you turn it? My motor has a real stiff, chunky turn to it, so it's loud and "clicky" at low speeds.
The gen3 slipper is loud. The metal rings. Nothing you can do about it.

I was curious as to what causes it, Wikipedia calls it Cogging (No Current) Torque. Looks like lower pole motors will have a more pronounced case of it, as well as having a lot to do with construction. Though it's very clearly presented, more cogging torque = higher running motor torque. Not really too bad of a thing.
