Wheelspin or transbrake problem ? - Page 2

I have some graphs from the runs so I would see that if it where slipping , how much pressure is released when I let go of the brake ? The trans is a c 4 .

Type of switch is a good question. When I first started using a transbreak it was launched off a basic micro switch. Very simple and very fast but no adjustability. When we got the new car it had what I thought was a terminator button. It was a micro switch with a plunger, shims, and a return spring. Wrong! After 3 seasons finally got a pro to race the car and now it has the real button in it. The cheap knock off had the plunger and spring external and tended to bind and catch, throwing my RT all over.

Trans was just freshened , fluid is fine , I am only leaving at 3000rpm on a the chip if that has anything to do with ? I doubt it ,

temperature issue?
Holding the button staged for different amounts of time each time at the line waitng on the tree maybe? could cause transmission reaction times? Different temps changing reaction times?
