Really happy with this car so far.
We went to the local Cars & Coffee and clunk was giving Matt a hard time with the clutch chatter on the way there (it didn’t do it for me on the way back but it always seems to behave better for me, ). On the way back we were talking about it and thought the clutch probably still wasn’t broken in. For prototype we had to launch it to break it in so we thought what the heck, let’s try it (we hadn't launched it at that point).
We took it out, launched it once.Immediately felt like a different car after. It was great! Drove it back home to cool off while we looked over logs, etc.
Went back out and couldn’t tell if it was the clutch slipping or tire spin (I kept thinking tire spin but Matt was nervous it was the clutch since Prototype was being goofy the last time we took it out).
So we let it cool down while we did some more log evaluating. Looked a lot like tire spin so we said well, let’s go do one more. He was still pretty hesitant ‘cause he wasn’t convinced it was tire spin.
Matt asked me if I wanted to drive the last one of the day but I said no so he decided to drive this round. I’ll be honest, I’m pretty nervous until we get the lockout mechanism (I paid a lot for this dogbox and it took me forever to save for and I don’t wanna pay for another!! Matt was worried about the 2-3 but decided to go for it anyway). I absolutely refuse to do a 2-3 even though I want to and the car wants you to; I’ve never had issues in the past but....you know. The idea of a $$ shift is
ANYWAY. Got some videos of the last one that Matt did
