yea i know what you mean! ive noticed it in the rain too.. i dont have to change my takeoffs much at all in bad weather where as most have to be feather light on the gas or the tire spin like mad.. i can only figure its got to be the weight+ short wheel base puts as much weight over each tire as possible to give us better traction.. kind of like keeping your feet directly under you when you walk down an icy hill instead of taking big steps
