My Feedback: (2)

If your engine is properly tuned, slipper is not too loose and clutch is not worn, then it will wheelie with 15/49 gearing. If you have the Ribbed pipe, the wheelies come much easier than with the plastic pipe.

My guess is that your tuning is not spot on. Search for "Tuning 101" and you will find how to do it right.

Areas to check:

Slipper: should be tight
Engine Tuning: too rich = weaker performance
Driver/Owner: Let's car idle too long, won't wheelie
Firms shocks: If shocks are too soft, the accelenergy is absorbed = no wheelies
Traction: If the tires don't hook up = slip and no wheelies
Wheel Hex hubs: If one is stripped, it won't wheelie


I have a .21 Hyper 8-port and it would not wheelie until I replaced a blown shock and added a spacer to each rear shock. Now, it wheelies. Surely the .25 will wheelie.
