If you look on the instructions for the slipper, from memory it says to set the nut 3mm in from the end of the thread, i run a 5.5 brushless which slips too easy on this setting so i have set at about 4mm.

Different tyers and road surface can effect how to set it, if its high grip you may find your slipper slips too much or not enough, it also can loosen bed in and wear after a while so a turn or two maybe needed from time to time to tighten it.

If you set it at the stock 3mm and do a few hard starts on a level surface (0 to full throttle) and listen for the slip, it should slip for a foot or two depending on how powerful your motor is you should adjust accordingly.
