Not taking into consideration slipper wear. Just an observation so I can understand the slipper clutch but if the slipper hooks up to early you'll be out of the power band to pull a wheelie and have to much forward momentum. If it hooks way to late you would be flipping over back wards every time or breaking parts(more likely) and wearing the slipper out extremely fast. I guess if any of this is at all correct your goal is to have the slipper hook up at just the right time as to not break any thing but be in the power band for fastest acceleration or maybe even a wheelie.
So looser for wheelies is better?
I'm new to this rc slipper thing and just trying to get a handle on it. If I'm close, great, if I'm way off don't laugh to load.
 
Tighter will provide wheelies and less slipper wear but it will wear the other drivetrain parts faster.
Setting the slipper looser is for traction control, making it easier to drive on slippery surfaces. 1/10th trucks are very hard to drive on slick tracks unless you back off the slipper, otherwise everytime you gas the truck it will do a doughnut.
just set it to your driving style and conditions.
 
I couldn't get good wheelies out of my REVO with the stock slipper setting i had to tighten mine up a good bit to make it pull wheelies now it does it on command, i also installed a spool in the rear to which probably helped too.
 
Thanks for the replies, any help is good help.
