Does anyone know how to eliminate or at least reduce the violent wheel hop I sometimes get on a hard takeoff? any help would be great.

let up on the right foot. seriously, these cars suck to launch if you have any kind of power, and it only gets worse the more power you add. for me, i can't go more than 1/2 throttle in first, and have to let off the gas at the top of 2nd. pretty lame.

but seriously, as SOON as you feel some wheel hop you need to let off the gas so you don't brake something.

apparently Ingalls Torque Damper is great. you can adjust is soo for daily driving its dialed out and not still but for racing you can tighten it for optimal performance, but you get all the vibrations. ive also heard motor and tranny mounts are a solid choise as well.
