As far as I can tell, No, you canīt.

If you compress the springs too much the slipperdiff would just act like any other standard diff.

I think you could completly compress the springs and they would still be good afterwards.

If you have the springs all the way down, and keep on turning on the adjustment ring like a gorilla, then, yes, at one point you are bound to strip the thread, but only a brainless hulk would do something like that :lol:

Well said, Dafni - barring a super kung-fu gorilla twist on the nut, nothing bad will happen. :)

well said my Kung fu grip cost me my rounded nut. Now waiting for the spares to arrive:)

But even so the slip is still working, but if the diff is hot after 20- 30min run is it normal?

LOL. Define "hot" Alan. More slip will yield more heat, so it is normal for the diff to be pretty warm after a long run(even a normal diff will heat up with prolonged use, but the plastic cup won't radiate the heat like the Slipperential, so it isn't noticed as much). If it is too hot to touch, you may want to tighten it a litle, but it can handle pretty substantial heat. :)
