WOW!! plenty of evom members can't launch for ****... hahaha!

Very Innovative though, even if it takes the excitement and the credit for those low 60 ft's

I had the same initial reaction..."somebody finally invented the driver mod" came to mind but hey, launching a high horsepower car isn't easy for everyone and parts aren't cheap so it's a pretty damn cool mod I think.

Everyone makes mistakes. You launch too hard one time and you might break something. Even if you don't break drivetrain parts, you start putting stress cracks in parts and then they might break later when you launch perfectly.

This thing takes human error out of the equation and allows repeatability.
