klze launching in 1st gear?

Post by shadowmx3 »

Sorry in advance if this topic is old, but did alot of searching still cant find nothing. Just wondering if i drop a klze in stock with no mod and change my 16" racing hart cp-035 wheel with falkan azinas would it be able to launch in 1st gear? Cause not sure if i should get like light weight flywheel or not to make it really rev, since read alot of people been having traciton problem with light wieght flywheel. Any comment much appreciate.

well with the ze. it doesnt really matter stock or not.
you try to launch in first gear. your wheels are gonna do nothing but spin.

allow me to correct you- Wheel, as in one of them will spin. Get a LSD and some slicks and you can launch. Howver, I would worry more about practicing than what your car has. Most of your gain is going to be from your learning to drive better. Before you get amped up about your driving skills, let me point out that you asked the question ;)

Truth.
My best time was 14.7 with 2 seconds of wheel spin. I watched the video several times, and counted. I was trying to feather the clutch, too. A good driver could have gotten 14 flat, or 13.9 as the car was then. Since then, the clutch has been slipping, so I haven't been able to practice.

Seems 2,000rpm launch is good and how about turning the front wheels back and forth while doing a prelaunch spin to lock up the front wheels.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

2000rpms sounds about right. the trick is in how fast the wheels are spinning while your moving. lower rpms for the the drop of the clutch. then after about 10 to 15mph. more rpm. then shift
