I'm confused. Sometimes when I peel out, both wheels spin and sometimes only one spins. How do I get both to spin? Aside from installing an LSD.

they just do, if you are on perfect flat ground going straight they may both spin but if turning or uneven ground only one may spin,,,,,,

Hello,

There is a way to help with the 2 wheel burnout.
If you "load" the differential, it will provide equal power to both wheels to start with, but will quickly fade. So, if one tire has much more grab then the other, you will lose it immediately. If they have close to equal load, you will keep it longer.
By loading it, if you can get both tires spinning, you can usually keep both spinning.
The way to load the differential is......
Left foot on the brake, give it 2500rpm for a second(this puts full line pressure into your differential) when removing your foot from the brake give it the gas, watch your rev limiters, if you hit them, you may lose the momentum the tires have going.
This is what I've been told, and with my experiences, I've managed consistent 2.0-2.1 60' times on stock RSA's.
I don't do burnouts, but the same applies when launching at the races.
Keep in mind...the more one wheel burnouts you do, the less life your tranny will have. Try to keep both wheels spinning.

Later now,
Clint
