I think part of that was the flash light. Ive got one of those LED bulbs in my mag light and anything shiny lights up real nice. Plus it was shot in night vision. Nevertheless im sure they got nice and hot. Hell the ABS light came on haha. The rotors show slight wear, but you have to rub ur finger over it to tell.

Never the less-----nice burnout!!
I wanted to basically go to just before they would pop but we were way out in the middle of nowhere at 3 A.M and it was 40*. Would have been a long *** walk. But thanks for the compliments guys

i've never powerbraked mine yet... I will spin them from time to time just running up the rpms a bit and let out the clutch and she'll tear them off for a good distance. I'm afraid to powerbrake it cuz these trucks get ridiculous wheel hop when you really start letting them loose. makes me think the truck is going to fall apart.

Nah, wheel hop is how you break things lol. Maybe its something with the tires that makes it hop? And how much are you letting off the break when u try it?
