Re: My latest ride
more pic's ,I didn't run the wheelie bars no need with only 1.8 was my best 60 ft.
note: Guy's this is run on an 'Airport' landing strip , they did try some sort of 'traction stuff ' so it helped a bit,
I did 'Lift' a few inches especially with Matt in the bug

"U Bet'cha"
In that first pic, look to the Right of me
that's a "Tesla' he ask me to race him a few time's for $10.00
I told him 'Maybe later when your Battery runs down"
someone told me 'He's running 7's His battery never did run down ,,,,FYI: my best on a concrete track ( as seen by the 60' times )was an 8.044 @91.4 mph,, Old racer told me to 'Save this slip " our reaction time were exactly the same

Re: My latest ride
What rpm were you launching at? I had 2 step switch adjustment issues this weekend, and had 60ft times that were similar to those. Launching at 7500 causes pretty good spin i found. I typically launch at about 5500 with boost. Mine only gives me 1.6s traditionally, even on a prepped surface. Mine will give similar 60s at 6500 with no boost. Kinda fun trying to tune this stuff.
