Need some help/opinions
Need some help/opinions I finally hooked the video camera up to the big screen today to watch my H/C runs. Well what felt to me like the tires spinning the first 8-12 feet turned out to be a totally different scenario.
While watching in slomo we saw that the car was hooked up tight for about the first 1 rotation of the tire then it starts spinning for about 10 feet then hooks up again. It almost seemed that it was hooked while the front was rising then came loose as the front traveled as high as it would go (tires still on the ground) then as the front started dropping it would hook back up and go netting 1.589-1.63 sixtys.
Now as to theories.
1. Stock torque arm flexing as it tries to lift the front tires off of the ground loosing pinion angle and traction.
2. motor achieving rpm enough to hit torque peak overpowering the tires.
Or something else? Let me know what you think.
