Re: Roberts Truck is SAFE!

In the video of it idling, it doesn't sound like an 8 sec truck either. Maybe its just the video but it was far quieter than I expected.
That truck is surprisingly nice and quiet, Behaves like a ordinary "grosery getter" until Robert WOT´s it, you just see the rear goes down like a puma before it leaps away, then it roars down the trac and pickin up speed ALL the way down
Its also boring to se at the track

because its no drama, no smoke , no wild ride just wanish from the start..
When we actualy did belive he would run an 8, was the run before..
The rear got down and 1-2 meters after the start all 4 wheels broke loose for about 10 meters, then he hit the rpm stop on all 3 gears (never use the OD on race) and lifted before the end, I my dumb a$$ shook my head and thought "awgh that would be a lousy time" then the scorebord lit up 9,00, at that moment I knew next would be an 8.
Short story, Robert adjusted the rpm stop, the start was same as the run before just barelu got the soft stop on bouth the 1 and 2 gear then run good all the way to the 8
