Speaking of the VTS, how far do you tighten yours? I tried the stock setting (~1mm of threads showing) and it felt smoother and the belt actually didn't skip under hard braking anymore, but the outside pad was glazing over very fast (15 mins of driving and you could use it as a mirror). I went to 1.5 mm, and it glazes less, but still enough to be smooth after 3 runs or so.
I'm running a 550 size 5.5t LRP X12L at 14t.
The slipper is an adjustment that can not be set by a measurement. It is a feel that depends on truck weight, motor, FDR, slipper pad age, tires, and track conditions. Yes 1.5mm will get you close but really is an adjustment that needs to be adjust by feel and the available traction.
