Too tight:
Too loose:
For those pictures I had the brace unattached at one end.
These trucks come with an undersized slipper if you are going to use a 550 or a 4 pole motor - even fully locked down they slip. One way of addressing it is garodiscs (Mantisworks upgraded slipper pads), or the Mac The Knife clutch basket adds another disc to the slipper clutch for much improved performance.
If you are going to run a 540 motor (less torque so the factory slipper is okay here) you'll need to add a Yeah Racing motor fan with a 180 in the part number else it will thermal quick.
