Talking Spartan Tune Problem

Reflashed to the Custom Hybrid Race. Filled up and dumped in double Power Serve. Now every time when she hits second gear she starts spinning, and will not stop untill I get out of it. She even will start coming to a stop because the tires are spinning so hard. Anyone have a idea on how I am going to get the power to the ground without using 4X4?

Does anyone make traction bars for our trucks?? Or drag slicks??

Now that sounds like a good problem to have.

You could get 35's like me and it will only spin just into second gear and then take off

what's wrong w/4wd..

i have the original hybrid race file and even w/35's i can break them in 3rd...
i use 4wd almost daily if i'm ever in a hurry to get somewhere because the tires won't stay stuck to the pavement ! ! !

and yes, you can get traction bars, but they will probably make the problem worse since you will no longer have axle wrap to absorb some of that power, ! !
