I pushed my rig hard but with lots of grace and steady throttle. no bouncing, you bounce you try another line. It really is a skill thing as much as the dif. mark it down as a war badge and get some quality time with some old dogs out on the trail.Attachment 31395

sounds like jedi bullsheet but you spend enough time off road in the truck and you can feel when it's working too hard or you just get a feeling it's gonna break and back off. I have a base truck but have driven H1's and 2's for years at events and at school. i found that it took a little wind up with the break then a ease out and smooth throttle up. the TC would kick in and up she went (with some tire squeeling)

I thought this was relatively common on the early models. (By common I mean common as a percentage of those that actually wheel the early 3's.)

--Thats very true. I'm very lucky to have some very seasoned off road guys in my club that have helped me a lot. Just another broken part for the books!
