The recommended slipper clutch setting is 75% throttle. You can check this by holding the car still on carpet,
with a fully charged battery, and gradually applying throttle. You should hear the slipper clutch begin to slip at
approximately 75% throttle. If the slipper clutch begins to slip before 75% throttle, tighten the M4 nut
approximately ¼ turn and try again. If the slipper clutch begins to slip after 75% throttle, or does not slip at all,
loosen the M4 nut approximately ¼ turn and try again. Please note that over the life of your vehicle, it is
normal for the slipper pads will wear out and will need to be replaced periodically. It is recommended to check
your slipper clutch performance every 4-5 hours of use.

You can eliminate the slipper from the vehicle by removing the slipper pads and spring washers. The images

Remove the rubber dust cover and adjust the slipper by inserting
a 7mm hex driver to turn the slipper nut.
Note: You must hold the drivetrain still during this process.
Note: The slipper is very sensitive to adjustments. In most
cases, half a turn is all that is needed.
