Because of the suspenion geometry, its fwd, and it has unequal axle lengths. Hard to get rid of it completely. Work on your launches.

Pm Jclaw, he has fabricated some kind of traction bar for like $200 that eliminates wheel hop. That's something yuo can do to fight the wheel hop issue.

The reason why is hiddin in your original post.


The car isn't designed for a clutch drop or an agressive launch.
