I was looking at that a few times eminentguitar, going to have to try that gear some time and if you have it hooked up right you should be doing wheelies. Even with that gear it should do about 30 mph which is plenty for a 1/10 dirt truck good luck with that and let us know how it works out

Bump box? find a used one and see if you like it...............generally you will spend between $70 and $140 for a new one with everything I like

Well I got the gear in there. what a tight fit its crazy. I had to do a little trimming on the chasis to get it to fit. I took it out today and it screams really gets up to top speed fast and your right about the top speed im sure its about 30mph still fast enough to do some crazy dammage lol.

Status: offline 		Whats it take to get these things to do a wheelie off the line????? I have an os cvr with a 14 tooth clutch bell and a 52 tooth spur gear running 2wd!!! I can get mine to do a wheelie when im going about 25 mph and I hit a really small bumb (about a half an inch tall) because I have stiff shocks in the front and really light ones in the back so it just pops up the front when i hit the bump.............. maybe ill just put a tz in it hehehe. Is there anyone out there that can pull a wheelie off the line with there tsunami?

Well you already know I can. But mine is electric so that doesn't count! LOL
It sounds like you already have the right set up to make it happen... stiff front relaxed rear and I think you already have larger tires don't you? The only thing I can think of is try switching back to the smaller tires... it would put more torque to the ground and help compress those springs to lift up the front. Also... try different surfaces... Mine wont do it in dirt or grass or concrete but on rough asphalt were it can really bite it will go airborne and flip backwards.
Oh and when you do get it to work (and I know you will )... if you ever put your Tsunami body back on... take off the rear wing. My wheelies destroyed mine from dragging it across the asphault.

Status: offline 		This does not make any sence at all but when I had the 44 tooth spur gear it was way harder to controle off the line and would just spin like crazy. Now that I have the 52 tooth gear it just takes off instead of spinning. its so weird

You should start a thread with your "list" and see if anyone can match it!
