### Please select what you are reporting on:

Creative

### What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Stability

### Summary

Spawning or respawning whiplashes cause SIGNIFICANT drops in frames and spikes in ping; and only increases further with more whiplashes. This gets far worse in live games with additional players on varying devices.

### Steps to Reproduce

Spawn the whiplash vehicle device. Respawn it or continue to place more. Select several and place them again.

### Expected Result

There should be a far smoother and reliable experience when spawning and/or enabling whiplashes.

### Observed Result

When spawning a Whiplash, you can see my ping spike generally an additional 100 with high rates of packet loss. Mind you, I am hard wired with fiber internet. I also experience significant frame drops, going from 100fps average to as low as 5fps whenever a whiplash spawns.

### Platform(s)

All

### Island Code

7832-3964-5638

### Additional Notes

This has been greatly hurting Truck Pursuit over the last month as players literally play with whiplashes; meaning there’s 12 spawning every round, causing huge lag spikes at the start of every round, forcing some players to even freeze in place in the air for upwards of 30 seconds.
