It's raining right now, but I'm not gonna drive because its just not safe. She'll spin the tires while on the move in 3rd. Still, its VERY predictable and you still feel like you've got a great feeling of control.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica">Spin the wheels in third gear in the rain or dry?

lol,zehnd what r/c car you got?gas or electric?brand?the weirdest thing happend today,when i was comeing home from a party with my girlfriend,her borther and a friend she told me i would get spanked by a acura rsx (not type s)so with that being said,after a stop sign on a clear road i quick shifted from 1st to 2nd and power shifted from 2nd to 3rd.my tires fully unlocked!(meaning burned out)i immediatley shift to 4th cause i didn't want to blow something.it unlocked from 2nd to 3rd like it was pealing out in 1st gear.i am very very impressed with the power of the 951,never thought it could peal out 1st,1st-2nd,2nd-3rd and 3rd-4th.real impress,this made my day all better. =)

i find the wet is a much better place to find the limits of your car, braking, accelerating, and turning. since there's much lower grip you can learn what it feels like to lose the rear end or to have the front end plow on you, neither are good feelings in regular driving conditions, but if you can learn how to manipulate the car in the wet to get the results you want, you'll be good to go. as a side note i have several autox's experience, a ton of simulated driving experience, and i'm saving for a helmet so i can do a de soon 
drive on!
