Thread: any way to prevent wheel spin in launch?

I just recently put new tires on my GTP and still get wheel spin off the line, are there any mods to help with this?

dont floor it right away roll into the throttle

slicks

Hold revs at 2,000 and then roll into the gas.

FWD and lots of torque = wheel spin.

yup and slicks will help.

ease into it, i had my gtp down pretty good on launches, now im dealing with my gxp. Torque steer hell.

RWD conversion.

The mod is called the driver mod.

I'm assuming that you mean street and not track... So yeah, better driving, or better taste in tires next time around. Maybe some fresh LCAs.

If you mean track, slicks up front with low pressure, burn out nice, higher pressure in the rears... suspension upgrades... remove weight from the rear...

fwd is tricky, just takes practice and you will get the hang of it. Try rolling into it, yes it might feel slower at first, but you will be moving faster because you will actually be moving lol

Don't fear torque steer....

There's a few things that would help tremendously.

Better stickier tires.
Warmer weather so the tires can get sticky
Learning how to drive this car
Keeping the weight transfer to a minimum (huge right here, huuuuuge)
Learning how to rebuild a transmission (pre emptive on this one)
