also i still cant get my pede to pull wheelies . If i lower the suspention to a lower hole will that help or should u raise it.



A couple things you can try are first, put as much preload in the rear springs as you can so that it doesn't squat down when you hit the throttle. Also, using a 7 cell battery pack would help as well. And on the subject of batteries, don't buy a pack or 2 simply because it looks like a good deal. Most of the 2 pack 3000 and 3300 mah like you see on Tower are junk, be ready to spend $30-$40 on a good 6 cell pack that will out perform both batteries put together those 2 pack deals.

Another thing you really should consider is getting rid of those stock Tamiya plugs and replacing them with Deans. Feel the plug after running a pack and it'll be warm or more likely hot. That heat is wasted energy from the restistance in the plug making less power available for the motor.
