whats the problem with launching? to much wheel spin? I really dont see how that car can be hard to launch. Its slow. Just rev it up, drop the clutch. A little wheel spin is fine. If you spin to much launch it lower, to little then launch it higher.

It wobbles??? yeah something is wrong

now if it like bounces around, up and down then that is wheel hop. Get some traction bars for it, there supposed to eliminate that.

if that wobble is more of a bounce or skipping feeling its just tire hop. to make it go away traction bars are a good place to start
