Launching a manual 4wd car can be hard work. Can bog down very easily! As someone said above, there needs to be a balance. A bit of slip is recommended as some thing needs to take the strain, I would rather the tyres than the clutch or transmission. Get it wrong and it can be expensive, ask me how I know!
