External motor’s connection with the speed of my t

I have an Acoustic Solid Wood Classic Turntable with the external motor. I am finding that every time I play a record I have to adjust the distance that the motor is from the turntable because of the high speed the record is playing at. Is this typical of these types of tables? Could it be a defective motor? By the way, I do not have a speed box.

Thanks for the response. I wonder if I should get a base for my TT. Do you think that would stop the problem? I would hate to rig a make shift solution to the problem. After all the money I have spent in the TT set up… It does just not sit right.

So we all think it is not a defective motor (sorry I'm new to T.T.'s)? Do any of you have to adjust the motor when you sit down for an evening of playing records? The motor i have does vibrate a little bit when in use. So the motor slipping might be a problem. The surface that the player is sitting on is not the best set up. I should invest in a base. Any ideas?

My set up is a follows:
Acoustic Solid Wood Classic
Blue point #2 needle
Rega RB 300 toe arm
HSR record clamp
Living Voice Record mat.
