Default Boost launched at 13lbs tonight in 4wd!!!!

I had launched on 6 before but WOW!!!

I have to say I was a little scared of breaking something when it was spinning the tires and doing some wheel hopping! Is anyone launching at the track like this? Any weak points or do they hold up well? This truck made 448/472 on 10lbs, not sure what its making on 13. Any input is appreciated!!!

Oh and I got it on video when I get some good service ill post the in cab vid lol

Front end straps, and maybe tie rod sleeves (esp if lifted or cranked t-bars) would be adviseable. Otherwise, let it eat!

G80 is probably fine. Launching in a straight line isn't too hard on them. It's smoking the tires around corners(drift much?) that kills em quick.

Fun, aint it?

Front end straps are a must if you want the cvs to live, and tie rod sleeves are highly recommended. Traction bars help with the wheel hop.

8.6"

What's best route to go on front end straps? Anything quick and easy since this wont be done often?

Front end straps helped mine also. I have to back them all the way off when not at track though as they are annoying due to how rough roads are around me.

Was playing with mine at 6 psi launch and its still weak w the stock stall. All four keep traction if the roads are dry.

Lets see ur incar vids guys
