Motor (Tekin SC4X 4.5T) is staying around 155. Slipper was/is tightened nearly all the way in.

I'll do that. I was just out "poking" at it again and noticed that if I pick up the truck and spin the rear wheels everything is fine. Same for the front. When I set the truck down and roll it, it is very loud.....??

Looks like gearing is 13/62 - 32p. Put the slipper together as per the instructions. Is there a "trick" that I need to know about here?
Thank you for your post!
