Very first run, very first trip to the drag strip after a long and tedious build. Results were not as expected. Follow the link.

Is that yours? Man that sucks. They came off so fast didn't even look like it had lugs on it.

Yeah I agree, that is crazy. Of all things to happen, I wasn't expecting that!

Overtorqued lug nuts?

mckpat03 · 05-16-2012, 08:23 PM

No. Just tremendous wheel hop due to overlooked suspension geometry.

That wheel hop was intense! Definitely not set up right.

I don't mean this as an insult to the OP but when are people going to stop using that default Windows Movie Maker blue background? Its gotta be at the beginning of 60% of videos on Youtube.

Haha, for sure. In the video description there is an explanation of the geometry and why it was wrong. It was that one issue that got overlooked. Live and learn. Time to get the control arm relocation brackets on and give it hell out of the hole haha.
