First thing is that the slipper should slip before the diff does - so check that the rear diff does not slip easily but still works freely.

You can check this by holding the spur and one wheel, and turning the other wheel by hand, it should take a decent amount of force before you feel any slip, and the slipper should slip first (or at least at the same time as the diff).

Once you have this basic setting, feel free to slacken off the slipper for a softer feel on low grip surfaces, although really it is better to learn to use a softer throttle thumb, because if you slacken the slipper too much the car becomes unresponsive to throttle/brake inputs.

You should only notice the slipper working for the first couple of feet from a standing start.

Hope this helps.
