Rear wheel hop?
« on: June 04, 2012, 12:46:22 pm »
Has anyone experienced this? Accelerated from 30mph to NSL and whilst doing so noticed the back wheels sounded like they were wheel hopping. The fronts were fine.

Am sure. It was when I went through a wet patch of road on a curved portion.

Maybe just the ESP, trying to sort out loss of grip.  :happy2:

You may well be right there Mr TC. Incidentally, did you know they're releasing a Top Cat movie. Are you starring in it?
