how high do u rev your rpms before droppin the clutch in 1st gear on a straight away track to get the best launch? it feels like if its over 4500 rpm the clutch sticks and it wont peel out.. whats up with that?DOMO

Don't drop the clutch... slip it if anything and preload with ebrake. 3200 is what I launched mine at, and the track wasn't that sticky. clutch sticks and it won't peel out? that doesn't make sense, 4500 rpm is good for spinning first to get the tires hot for the launch. did you turn of vdc? lol
verts have different gears though, i believe a shorter first gear? so you should be launching at a lower rpm.
