Dave we want that wheel speed, it is what accelerates the car. We just need to find a way to keep in going thoughout first gear. If you look at the data log you will see where it begins to hook to much and pulls the motor down. Can also see it go away on video and when you link it to the data it really shows. That is the one thing we have to get correct to make this thing fly, just got to figure out how to get it done and not spin. Got to remember this thing likes the RPM that wheel speed is what we need. Dead hook is not a good thing in this kind of car, or really any high hp kind of set up. One of the issues we have with the other car is to much hit and not enough wheel speed..That why it is such a turd.
