Default raptor/warrior tyres

my mate just got a new raptor and we went out on a gravel road to drag that and my warrior both stock
he started in first and i started in second he had about 16 feet of wheel spin until he changed in 2nd then it grabbed traction and was off i had 16 feet in 2nd i then changed to 3rd and the wheels spun for 60 feet until i changed to 4th they then grabbed traction
i have changed up to a 14 tooth front sprocket coz i was getting to much wheel spin b4 and i wanted a bit more top speed but i am still getting to much is it because the stock tyres are **** or am i doin something wrong with the clutch. i just don't understand how something that has double the power is able to have wheel spin for a quarter of the time????

I think that the Raptor tires hook up a lot better than the Warrior tires. It has to do with the way they are shaped. Raptor tires are flatter across the tread than Warrior tires. This give you more rubber on the ground. Ask him to swap tires with you and then run the race again!!!! You'll see a difference!
