you would have to use the race start mode. I always use this when i race. in order to use it you will have to put the car in sport handling mode, switch it to s+, then hold the brake, then turn the knob to rs mode. When race start comes u on the cluster click the right paddle to confirm it. Step on the gas and release when you want to leave. You only have about 5 secs to b able to keep the cart at a open rev then it will cancel itself out

Are there any other tricks on how to accelerate with traction off with no or little wheel spin...
I don't want to use all the time rs option... Maybe there's another way....

TIRES!!!

Soft tires, drag tires. Nitto, Hoosier A6, etc. they won't last long.

Power-braking to 1500 is how I've achieved my personal best of 0-60 in 3.82 on street tires. Drop the hammer at 1500 and modulate the throttle carefully. As soon as you get traction, lean on it! Took me many runs at the dragstrip to get this technique down perfect.

How did RS compare?
