You may get some banging but then again if urs already does that I wouldn't put it down the track.

I don't see a problem with it, just flip back to 2 whl before turning off the track. Seems like it's actually easier on the truck, all the load isn't on the rear axle alone.

You get a better time in the quarter by having it in 4H down the whole track? I thought it would give you a slower time but faster off the line.

Well, I'm having some binding issues with mine. It feels and sounds like it's coming from the front drivers side.. This is launching the truck in 4h and occurs at about 30-35mph then I get out of the throttle and put it back in 2h. Its done this every time I’ve tried(2-3 times).
