Just a question, I'm running stock motor and when I follow your procedure in setting the slipper clutch I can't get the frot wheels to go up to about 3 inches. I tried tightening the slipper clutch already but after a few tries my motor became very hot and some smoke started to appear (good thing I stopped as soon As I saw this, my motor is still good).
So what I did was to just tighten it so that it doesn't slip when I throttle and hold both wheels.

I checked the diff and i think it is tight enough (when I hold the right wheel and spur gear, the left wheel can't be rotated w/ moderate force). The diff is smooth when I do counter rotation on the wheels too.

Did I do something wrong? Or is this expected for a 17.5 motor (=no wheelies)?

Thanks
