Spool Question

Alright, I finally got my Moser 9" put in, it's got a full spool with 410's. Question being: It drives fine when I'm not at WOT, but as soon as I punch it instead of spinning I get what feels like wheel hop but it's REALLY bad. Is this a spool thing or is there something wrong? If it makes any difference I'm running street tires...

No suspension mods yet, so I'm just hoping it's REALLY bad wheel hop and that I didn't do something wrong lol.

This does sound like susp 100%. The spool is just instigating the problem or allowing you to notice it more than before.

not sure its are the shop the one guy took it apart but i havent got a chance to talk to him. in a stright line yiu would never know it had a problem. but when you made a sharp right or left turn at low speeds it would pop real loud, i think i cracked the worm gears
