Hey guys i got a quick question. What keeps tires from bouncing when you are offroading? And what i mean by bouncing is when you are giving it a bunch of throddle, your tires are spinning and you are stationary and your tires start to bounce rapidly as they gain and loose traction traction. Heres a video of what i mean. Im talking about what happens at the 1:40 mark. Is this horsepower related? Shock related? Is there any way to stop it from doint this?

It happens alot in loose sand too.

Leaf spung vehicles have problems with this and it's often caused by axle wrap. If you start bouncing let off. I snapped a FF D60 shaft this weekend and only bounced once but my tire landed between two big rocks.

It's the tires and suspension flexing from the power. Don't know how to prevent that besides gettin off the gas.

My only complaint on that rig is the cage. There are absoutly no triangles in it and it isnt cross braced. Its gona flatten as soon as he flips it.

And the thing sounds like none of the joints have ever been greased
