Its all about practice man, launch higher, dump it, lower you tire pressure, ect. If you are not spinning then you are not trying hard enough. Try a search for how to launch, and traction issues.

Sounds like a street tire car with no exp. launching.

Try bringing the rpm's up to about 3500 and letting the clutch out quickly, not dumping it but not riding it. And gas up as you're letting it out to stop the rpm from dropping.

You're bogging the car because you're not gassing it enough, or when the car starts to bite and go you're lifting off teh pedal and dont' realize it.


Gearing, real tires, and the needed driveline parts so you can leave off the limiter is the solution, how far you want to go with that is your choice, but without a tire, gearing and driveline parts that will take the abuse you're going to be very limited with the results.
