The front comes up evenly on launch and when it bites again. So what you see is a quick double wheelie at the start. It's not wheelhop, more like the rear squats and digs in, front comes up, then the rear suspension sort of unloads and rises then digs back in. The front actually rises higher on the second bite. No real wheelspin but you can see in the slow-mo the tire sidewall 'grip' around the "8 o'clock" area of the pass.wheel,4-drivers side, then disappear then wrinkle again. The 1-2 shift is fine, front tires comes up evenly(approx4") I thought about lower tire pressure but I'm 'ascared' with such a short wb car. I've run other cars with tire press. as low as 8-10psi. but not in a 2100lb, 90" plastic car! I must be getting old...I'm starting to actually worry about consequences.
Thanks for the help guys, I feel like I stole G.R.s thread
