I launched at about 1500 rpm, just enough to keep from bogging off the line,
the Dak has a set of 3:92:1 gears with a LSD (ANTI-SPIN), and it's set up
with P275-65VR-17 Nitto NT404, one of the racers in the pits watched it
launch and said he thought it had a decent 60ft time for a 4wd
chassis...........may need to work on the launch rpm too....
