It's heavy and big like a train I suppose

We didn't even get to try out the real gears (3-4), it was too wet. The car was going nuts in the water and we didn't want to push our luck. But I tried to give them a taste of what it is like.

Does your car maintain traction? 1st gear in mine is useless now with the 6266, just a spin factory. Not cool for me, I might look into better tires? I'd much rather have it hook.

I haven't tried 1st yet lol. But I dead hook in 2nd gear.

I do have 275's all around though which helps.
What size tire do you have?

I am pretty sure my 1st will be spin city if I want it to be.
