im pretty sure its hop, can feel the car bouncing around.. but then i dont know what the flywheel would sound/feel like to compare.

They knew it has REVO map and if they took the battery out they know/or should have known it would reset and so they should have put it back, so that in itself upsets me, say i didnt have a select switch, i may NEVER have known and thought the car had other issues... not acceptable really

....VWR aren't a Revo dealer AFAIK and the reset back to your Revo map would have been your, not their, responsibility to do with your Select switch. I would have expected them to at least ask you about resetting the Revo but that assumes they know about what disconnecting the battery does on Revo, which I'm pretty sure they do know.

But either way, something is clearly wrong with your particular car. I'm on Revo2 with VWR's 'Fast Road' mounts and Quaife diff and I can't induce wheel hop!

Could it be a suspension component failure? Broken bush? < I've now just read other folks suggesting suspension too. I have KW-V3.

SteveS:
I have to say i dont totally agree with you.
They do suppy REVO now, they put it on in the first place!!.. and even if they didnt, it should have at least been mentioned if they were unsure.

They said they checked these things out, i took the car there to be investigated for such issues and told there were none! so if there is an issue with one of these obvious parts i wont be a happy bunny..

GTIjames:
Just curious but does it occur when you have the traction control turned off ?

SteveP:
The battery would have been removed to fit one of the mounts, so the Revo code would have defaulted back to stock mode.
