Default Front Wheels Thump on Take Off

Dont know if anyone else has the same problem but a few weeks back at Pod, my FRS was making knocking noise from front wheels on take off. Does anyone know of anything a can fit to stop this from happening.

FRS 1432
Cheers Guys

Hi

This is very normal most cars do it. On a hard launch all the weight shifts to the back of the car making the front end very light. The wheels spin and bounce hence the noise.

I believe Adrenaline race & Performance do a traction kit to make the car more rigid to stop the weight transfer.

Weather this kits the RS or not i do not know......

Regards

Tom aka Zippy
