I have the fronts on 2 and rears on 2 the last 2 passes on the video... They are both single adjustable.... Ill tighten the fronts up a bit next time out

i was thinking the same thing... your truck looks to be going up down left right and every other way when you let off the brake except immediately forward. seems very similar to what my truck used to do actually. its just alot of wasted energy

Im not to sure what you are trying to say about it going up down left right and every other way?? Can you elaborate a little more.... and what did you do to correct yours?

Looks like wheel hop on the first 2 passes did my ring gear in also.... the last 2 passes i didnt have any wheel hop... Ill give a brief run down of how this went down... Truck was dialed in for raidal tires on 16 psi of air pressure with the front shocks on 2 and rears on 6..... So i put the slicks on and keep everything the same shock wise but i put 12.5 psi in the slicks and it wheel hopped one time, next pass i decided to change the rear shocks to 9 (Stiffer) and change psi to 14 in the tire, it wheel hopped 2 times... so i figured i was going backwards with all the changes so i decided on the 3rd pass to set the rear shocks on 2 with the fronts left on 2 and move the air pressure down to 13 psi, this seemed to eliminate alot if not all of the wheel hop for the last 2 passes.... In my mind i feel im going about it the opposite way, i feel like the rear should be on around 6 or stiffer with around 10 psi of air pressure.... Ill take some suggestions from you guys and try to get it lined out, heres a few pics of the ring gear after the wheel hops

I went and looked at some of my old posts. But with the QA-1's on slicks it looked about like this.
First time at track: 3 in the front, 3 in the rear
Truck spins a little, no wheel hop, 60's in the 1.7 range
Next time at track: 4 in the front, 3 in the rear
Truck hooks better, no wheel hop, 60's in the low 1.6 range
Next time at track: 5 in front, 4 in the rear
Dead hook, 60's in the 1.57 range
Looking at older video's, my truck was acting similar to yours when I had the shocks set looser. The front was coming up fast, then drops back fast unloading the rear tires for a bit. Tightening the shocks helped.
