problems with wheelspin....

[silvo95]

Im wheelspinning into 3rd gear and losing all my traction, anyone know how to solve it? I launch in 2nd gear and i dont stop spinning untill half way through 3rd, ive tried separating my gears out but i drag at indy so i lose acceleration, anyone know what i can do?

Never launch in anything higher than second. Ever. Add rear toe. As long as your gear is long enough not to bog and you are in the powerband not increasing RPM until your ready to shift, then you are ok.

@PTK, no one ever uses that car lol

I wanted to know if there was a disadvantage of setting too much toe on the rear.

Depends on the car...

That car is a beast. No joke. Probably the best mid range rear wheel drive car.

I start my Ford GT (premium) , my MP4 and my SLS AMG in 3rd gear and they have a very good start

The MP4 and SLS are both 7 gear RWDs, basically the only type of car that supports a 3rd gear launch properly.

True but the ford GT can handel it too

 

[viperbeatsvette]

Yes, the GT is a really tough launcher.

Agreed! I have a 3rd launcher that gives people FITS! BUT if you decide to do it,I particularly recommend 3rd gear launches for RWD cars that are above 900 hp but less than 1300-1400kg. and thats IF you decide to do it. It works on some cars, some are better off with you putting in that extra trans & suspension work to achieve a 2nd gear launch.
