Hey Ahmed,

Good luck. Remember if you start to get axel hop, ABORT, ABORT ABORT.

Most breakages are because people try and power through Axel HOP, do NOT do that in the beast, or you will break EVERYTHING.

As far as launch RPM"S there is a very good reason why so many different responses.

The People who start at a very LOW RPM, are actually increases revs as the clutch is coming out.

The ones that start at a higher RPM, are waiting until it hooks up before adding more RPM's.

Even though they may not be conscience that they are doing it.

If you truely launched a car at 1,000 RPM without gradualy adding as you let more clutch out, you would either BOG down, or have a very slow launch.

So basically Everyone CAN be Right.

You just have to match it with your own style.

If you have an itchy right foot, then start at a lower RPM.

If you have a rock solid right foot, then start higher.

IF you have a very good clutch ( ) Then you can slip it at the launch, and start with much higher RPM's.

If you have a stock clutch, DO not do this, as you will Toast it.

Last piece of advice, Don't forget to have FUN.
