For those of you that don't know, that's a V8 engine with a slightly modified V6 TB. The tires are tiny 275/60R-17's. It's four shots in about four seconds. To bad my gf didn't take a fifth.

Not trying to steal your thunder, but any truck (LSD for both wheels) can do that if they hold their brakes. It does look cool when you do it, and I like to do it through 1st and sometimes if I'm quick enough 2nd (clutch). It's pretty sweet when you do it at the track (heating the tires up), and then run 17's. At least that's what I do, my trucks all show and no go, but I try.

It's also decent when u let off the brakes just a little bit and it starts to turn sideways, I think if I tried a little harder it could do a 360.

If you don't have sufficient power you probably won't get to second gear without it bogging down. It easily went into 3rd without hesitation. I've done 360's on smooth pavement with it but this pavement had way to much rock and I didn't care to shred the tires just to get a couple of pictures.

If you want to see how easy it is, reduce your cfm by about 25-30% and see how many 360's you can do. I may have to take the time to put a stock V6 tb on and see for myself. It would be a good control test.

Most of the people here put v8 on their v6's. Why in the world would anyone want to put a v6 tb on a v8. Man have the cab of truck tested for CO or CO2 deposits.

I see you got more pictures of a longer period. Good for you. I think my GF did a great job getting the pictures that she did. It's not the safest thing setting direct behind a vehicle like she did. The setup was especially good because there was a strong tailwind keeping the rear of the truck clear.

Anyhow, you did pretty good for a lightweight RC with admittedly worn out stock tires.
