Default Engine winding out too fast?

I have been known to go through 2 gallons in a little over a week. When I go to the track I use at least 1/2 gallon in a visit.

do this, pick the truck up, hold both back wheels, try to turn the slipper. If it turns, tighten it. I have mine tightend down as far as I can.

just occurred to me, do the red pins in the spur have to be sticking out equal on both sides?

if you tighten the slipper down all the way it wont matter.. It will only matter if you want the slipper to be functional.
