Default Bad wheel hop

Launches really well with that little bit of spin, but with that little bit of spin is wheel hop, specially 1st to 2nd. Is there any small fix before going to caltrac or assasin. Type of truck is in my sig.

Caltracs will fix it. Mine was very bad before caltracs. Best money spent I think!

Poor and worn shocks will cause this too.

Good point, they are all weather tires.

I was wondering about that cause I found some at the local parts store.
I bought this truck back in March while deployed to Afghanistan, I'm pretty impressed with the ole 4.8.
