yes i adjusted em...its easy to adjust...jus turn the gear thingy until it takes some effort to get the drum back on...and then with the drum all the way on...it should be kinda hard to spin like the wheel was on....if i knew where to get a rear brake swap at for cheap id gladly do becuz i plan on having this car for awhile

mine are doing the same theres suposed to be a clip on the adjuster which stops it from backing off..im getting ready to redu mine this weekend..and your suposed to ajust the shoes with the drum on theres a small hole on the back which u stick a flat head screw driver back there and u'll feel it grab and then start pulling up till the drum is some what tight

yeah, the clip can easily get bent on removal/install and won't stay engaged to keep the gear from backing up.

Part 29/35 on the right lower area of that pic. The wheel should spin one way but not the other.
