What adjustments to suit track conditions? What are the indicators and effects of too tight or too loose?
Slipper: Is the instruction to:
1. tighten all the way.
2. loosen 1 full turn plus 1/4 turn OR is it to loosen ONE only 1/4 turn?
The slipper should SLIP when the wheels are held and the spur turned with some reasonable force - correct?
How much slip is advisable?
Should the slipper "slip" for a metre or so when accelerating hard?
Should this amount of slip be adjusted for the amount of grip on each type of surface?
That is on a low grip surface I should loosen the slipper to get some slip on hard acceleration rather than get a lot of wheel spin?

Adjust diffs as per manual and you will have no issue.
Slipper is not there to control traction or to "slip" its to provide some protection for the drivetrain when jumping etc.
You should set it 1/2 turn out from locked and make sure you use a good quality loctite.
The car should launch hard and straight, if anything is slipping it will be the diffs as the slipper will not present any noticable slip when its a 1/2 turn out.
