RE: The Official Losi Desert Truck Thread!
The amount of slip is determined by you and what you want, that's why they're adjustable. Just make sure the truck takes off good, you don't want the motor screaming and the truck barely moving. That will overheat the slipper pads and the spur gear. If you want wheelies you tighten it up a little at a time until you get where you want it to perform.
What are you using for batteries? The power of any brushless system depends on the strength of the batteries and voltage. If your only running 6 or 7 cells get the Sidewinder 5700, higher voltage I would get the 4600...
