It is never good for parts when this happens. Broke the K-Member. Oh well it is good for show right

OUCHIE!

I thought you guys had wheelie bars on the car?

I was going strait... why let out? Or did the rear wheels just loose traction from all the car's weight being on the rear bumper?

We did have bars but the Cheap Street Class at the Clash of the Titans we can't have them. That is why we removed them. He let out because he couldn't tell where he was and we were only making 1st gear hits. We put a new clutch in it and it was not right . That is why it did that.
