Im running the 50 shot right now and it feels like the RPMs are going up without putting down all the power. Feels like she may be slipping a little. Is there a way to tell. If its not slipping, when i move to the 100 shot how long should i expect it to last?

The easiest way to see if it is slipping is to put it in 5th and slowly let out the clutch while giving it just a little gas. If it feels like it grabs and then dies it's most likely ok. If it doesn't them it's slipping. If it's slipping now and you go to a 100 shot it's gonna be toast pretty quickly.

After a hard run, you will likely smell it burning if it is slipping.
