The 1.25mm is meant to be a base setting - to be tweaked from there. We found that this is a reasonable starting point - may be a little stiff in a buggy and a little loose in a truggy (dependent on other factors as well), but need a baseline for people to start with.
I really can't say how well this will work in your particular vehicle at your track and with your driving style. Factors such as traction, vehicle weight, track conditions, etc. all play a role in how well this setting actually works. I was basing my observation on your description of the driving characteristics - this is ultimately what you are trying to tune, so the "gap setting" will fall where it may. This .06" setting is helpful information for others looking for a similar feel(or for you to remember when trying to duplicate the setting), but the track conditions, etc. will ultimately determine the best setting. Your description sounded as if it had a fair amount of slip - if you like it, you can certainly leave it here, but you can also tighten it and loosen it as the driving conditions dictate.
I guess my point is that the unit has a high degree of tunability (is that a word?), so I want to encourage people to tweak, tune and dial it in like they would any other tuning aspect of the vehicle.

Well I was running on a tight indoor hard packed clay tray. Running Panther clay switch tires. It is pretty high bite in the groove. But if you get out of the groove it is slick. After thinking about it I wrote down .055 when I set up the slipper. So I had it slightly tighter than I first reported. I could have stood to have it a little tighter. But the slipper did help to keep the buggy between the pipes on a tight track. I look forward to working with it a little more.
