    Just one more reason to yank those d@mn lateral springs. Hate them, hate them, hate them. It never made sense to me to have to fight a spring to turn.

    I took my lateral springs off as well, I also hate them but they are there for a reason, to prevent this sort of thing. The manual states you should always start a Max in reverse gear only. Then the lateral springs are actually applying the brakes when you start it up.


    Hope nobody was hurt!
