DB01 RRR clutch issue?

[Finnsllc]

Wanted to ask the more experienced,   I have built my DB01 RRR and seem to be having an issue, or think i am, with the dirivetrain or slipper clutch. The car seems really tight or like there is a drag on the drivetrain. The RRR is my first slipper so im not sure how to describe the issue. ALso notice a louder sound than i am used to hearing coming from the car, perhaps the gears are louder? Any comments welcome and apprieciated.

If the car feels tight it then it sounds like the belts are too tight, and/or you have managed to get the diffs not quite aligned in the bulkheads. Those eccentrics around the diff bearings are pretty tricky to get lined up. For belts, thry actually need to be quite loose. My 2-3mm of vertical movement when you push down in the middle of them. Pull the diff covers off, find the little dots on tne eccentrics and make sure as a minimum they are setup as per the manual. If they are, rotate the dot towards the centre of the car one click (do both diffs) and see how that goes. If the slipper is setup as per manual it should run fine. Easy way to check is to undo the preload nut 1/4 tutn at a time and thrn give the car full throttle. Keep doing this until it doesn't take off very quickly and you'll the motor whizzing away. That's the slipper slipping. Tighten it back up a 1/4 turn and you're set.

just finished taking the diffs apart and making sure they were set correctly. put it all back and hookd her up to power, yeah i just think the car is LOUD as far as the mechanics go. As i am more accustomed to 2wd rere and 4wd tt02b noises. im going o run it and if something breaks ill know what the issue is. still need a body and wing though.If all goes well ill def be looking to put a little more power to the wheels above the Tamiya BZ.

Problem has been solved, HUGE shout out to @speedy_w_beans for all the generous help going through process of elimination to isolate the issue and solve it. Ill spare the long story and simply admit i screwed up when i built the car and used the wrong pinion gear. thats it.
