How do you pull it up going that slow?? I've been trying on a F3. The tire just want to burnout. I've been trying to clutch it.

If the tire is spinning try dropping your air pressure in the rear.

with the PSI, i run like 10-15psi normally. I'd stick with 10-15, not to flat, but if it still seems wobbly and ****, try going lower, might help.

i run between 10 adn 15.

at 15 i can carry passengers and hit twisties but you gotta get used to it.

definately run 15 or lower for slow stuff.
