when i launch mine, i kinda ride the clutch so to speak. rev it up to like 2 and let the clutch out slowly to point where you take off and go without spinning the tires cause the clutch hasn't engaged enough to put all the power down. Work on it and you'll get could i promise, it took me like a month before i got it down and even now its kinda hard to do right

I basically do it the same, only i rev it a little higher. I take it to about 3, slip out the clutch to where i think i can drop it, and take off
