So the launch was more predictable?

Do you have any type of traction bar on the rear suspension? To help with anti-squat, and body seperation? With a setup like that, it should plant the rear tires very hard.

Notice in the first race how it goes left then right, but thats not a toe issue, thats simply all the tires spinning so it slides around. If you look at some of my older vids, like when I raced Mitch, you will notice how much less the front end rises with the straps.

Still lifted the front some, at least more than I expected to see. Can you crank them down any farther, or was that all the way?

Actually, I dont think the front lifted at all, but it looks that way because the rear is squatting so hard. I had them tightened about an inch past finger tight.
